Brazil's electoral court has fined Meta but found no evidence that the company intended to influence the election. The fine followed a complaint filed by the coalition of President Lula. The court said the ruling did not establish any deliberate bias in the platform's handling of election content. Meta said it will defend itself against what it called "false allegations." Deutsche Welle reported the ruling. The case is part of the wider scrutiny of online platforms during Brazil's 2026 presidential election campaign.
