Brazil's Deputy Attorney General Jorge Mesías said on Friday that the Brazilian government will ask Meta to explain changes to its fact-checking plan by Monday. The move comes after the social media company lifted its US fact-checking program and reduced restrictions on discussions on topics such as immigration and gender identity. It's unclear exactly what will happen after the deadline expires. Brazil's chief attorney, Mercias, said, “I want to express the Brazilian government's huge concern about the policies adopted by Meta. It is like a weather vane for an airport, changing its position at any time according to the direction of the wind. Brazilian society will not be at the mercy of such policies.”
