💨 Abstract

Brazil's federal government has issued an extrajudicial notice to Meta, demanding clarification on its fact-checking practices to address hate speech and disinformation on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The notice also requests the removal of a manipulated video falsely attributed to Brazil's Finance Minister, Fernando Haddad. The government is concerned about Meta's decision to discontinue its data verification program and the potential for digital carnage or barbarism.
