US lawmakers press Zuckerberg over Meta's role in Brazil's runoff

Senator Bernie Sanders and 12 House Democrats sent Mark Zuckerberg a letter calling it "unacceptable" for a platform to favor a candidate in Brazil's presidential runoff on Sunday. Lula's campaign says Meta's platforms favored Flavio Bolsonaro; Meta denies it, and Brazil's electoral court has ordered equal treatment under a daily fine of 500,000 reais (~$98,000).
