Brazil's MPF Gives Meta 30 Days to Clarify Policy Changes; Justice Moraes Insists on Respect for Laws
Jan 8, 2025, 07:11 PM
The Brazilian Federal Public Prosecutor's Office (MPF) has requested Meta Platforms Inc. to clarify whether recent changes announced by CEO Mark Zuckerberg regarding content moderation and fact-checking policies in the United States will be implemented in Brazil. The MPF has given Meta 30 days to respond to the inquiry and is considering seeking action from the Supreme Federal Court (STF) to block the changes in the country. Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes stated that social media companies will only be allowed to operate in Brazil if they comply with national laws, asserting that 'here is a land with laws.' The future Minister of the Secretariat of Communication (Secom) commented that Meta's actions are 'bad for democracy.' The MPF's action reflects concerns that changes in Meta's policies could negatively impact the fight against misinformation in Brazil.
