Lula has demanded the disqualification of a political rival over alleged Meta platform bias ahead of Brazil's presidential vote, framing the dispute as election interference. The accusation raises political risk around Brazil's electoral process and signals potential regulatory pressure on Meta's operations in the country, though no immediate market mechanism follows from the disqualification demand itself.
