Facebook election interference has been going on for a long time in Europe. It's a two-tier system where parties outside the establishment have a far lower ban-threshold.

They changed their name to "Meta" after the Cambridge Analytica scandal.

Facebook marked a video where a famous Italian author was saying what he was going to vote and why as "fake news". Of course he's opposing the current right wing pro-USA government.

edit: yes please, as usual, keep downvoting factual information.

Isn't it probably an n-tier system which is pay to play?

During Covid I was told that when Meta censors speech it’s not censorship because it’s a private company -despite much of the contentious censorship at that time being precipitated by Biden admin “embeds”?

Why is this action by a private company now considered censorship but wasn’t back then?

Moreover why are people not complaining about Lula mandating the censorship on X of about 600 opposition leaders? Why is that not called out? Oh, they like that censorship.
