Brazil Demands Meta Explain Fact-Checking Policy Changes Within 72 Hours After Lula's Meeting
Jan 10, 2025, 03:59 PM
The Brazilian government has issued a 72-hour ultimatum to Meta, demanding explanations on the recent changes to its fact-checking policies and their potential impact on Brazilian users. This follows Meta's announcement to end its fact-checking program and relax content moderation rules, a move that has raised concerns about the spread of misinformation and hate speech. The Advocacia-Geral da União (AGU) and the Ministry of Justice have expressed worries over the implications for democracy and the protection of rights in Brazil. The government's action comes after President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva convened a meeting to discuss the issue, highlighting the seriousness of Meta's policy shift. The AGU's notification seeks clarity on how Meta will safeguard rights such as combating racism, homophobia, and misinformation on its platforms.
