🇧🇷🇧🇷❗️🇺🇸📱 — In an urgent tone, the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office (MPF) in Brazil will formally request information from Meta, the company that owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, to confirm whether the new policies announced by its owner, Mark Zuckerberg, will be implemented in the country
📝 The state agency seeks to determine if Meta in Brazil will align with its U.S. headquarters by ending its fact-checking program and replacing it with a "Community Notes" system similar to the one used by Elon Musk's platform, 𝕏 (formerly Twitter). These inquiries will be part of a civil investigation ongoing since 2021, which examines the accountability of big tech companies for posted content.
⚖️ According to MPF sources, the decision to alter content review policies could clash with the negative stance of Supreme Federal Court (STF)
justices regarding such changes. This raises the stakes, as Meta risks jeopardizing its access to Brazil's significant market.
