Brazil electoral court fines Meta $1.3 MN, sees no deliberate election bias • FRANCE 24 English

?????????? This is quite a distorted version of the case by the commentator. First of all, the main accusations aren&#39;t simply about &quot;wonky&quot; speed and audio in videos, it goes from the instagram search engine hiding Lula&#39;s profile even when it was directly being typed-out in the search bar, to Meta AI straight up refusing any prompts to generate pro-Lula content, while allowing prompts for the opposition candidate. <br><br>Secondly, there’s LOADS of evidence <i>everywhere.</i> It’s literally all over the internet, including admissions from the AI chatbox itself that it wasn’t being allowed to perform those prompts and by Meta, who said it was all happening due to a &quot;bug&quot;. They weren’t particulary subtle about any of it. <br><br>Third, the real investigation hasn’teven started yet, so the claim that they haven’t found evidence to suggest it was done intentionally seems a bit precipitated, given that they&#39;re just now starting to look into the accusations and haven’t been releasimg official statements about the case yet. <br><br>And lastly, the fine is only for not complying with the dates estabilished by the court to provide documents. It’s not a sentence yet, the case is far from over.

the social media censorship was almost comically obvious. Lucky it didnt work this time. But its clear both from their actions and their own words that the tech billionaires have declared war on democracy. They see democracy as a obstacle to them owning and controlling everything. Either we start taking that seriously or we will find ourselves owned and controlled by tech billionaires before too long
