Lula supporters protest against Meta to denounce its 'electoral interference'

Supporters of Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva protested outside Meta's headquarters in the United States to denounce the company's alleged interference in the 2022 Brazilian general election. The protesters claim that Meta's algorithms amplified content that favored Jair Bolsonaro, Lula's opponent, and suppressed content that favored Lula. The protest was organized by a group called 'Lula 2026', which is demanding a formal apology from Meta and its parent company, Meta Platforms, Inc. The group also wants Meta to take steps to prevent similar interference in future elections. The protest is seen as a response to a report by the Brazilian Senate's inquiry into the 2022 election, which found evidence of foreign interference by Meta and other tech companies.
