巴西选举法院一致裁定罚Meta750万雷亚尔:未遵法院命令、无证据显示故意偏向

巴西最高选举法院11月10日一致裁定,对 Meta 旗下的 Facebook 罚款750万雷亚尔(约134万美元),理由是该公司在上个月的总统决选竞选期间没有充分执行法院命令;裁定同时指出,目前没有证据表明 Meta 故意影响选举结果。七名法官一致通过这一裁定。
此案源于总统卢拉竞选团队的投诉,指控 Meta 的平台对卢拉与对手 Flávio Bolsonaro 两个阵营的内容区别对待。主审法官 Marco Aurélio Bellizze 在裁决中写道,案卷中有 Facebook 自己承认的技术故障,但没有材料能在目前阶段得出该公司故意让选情失衡的结论;Meta 曾承认,技术故障一度误关了卢拉竞选团队的数则广告。法院认定,Meta 错过了提交期限,提供的信息不完整、过于笼统,有时还使用外语。
这笔罚款由逐日罚金累加而成:10月17日至19日按每日50万雷亚尔计三天,10月20日至25日按每日100万雷亚尔计六天,合计750万雷亚尔。卢拉在10月25日的决选中击败 Bolsonaro,连任成功。

Brazil Electoral Court Unanimously Fines Meta 7.5 Million Reais, Finds No Deliberate Election Bias
Brazil's Superior Electoral Court ruled unanimously on November 10 to fine Meta's Facebook 7.5 million reais (about $1.34 million) for failing to fully comply with court orders during last month's presidential runoff campaign. The court said there is no evidence so far that Meta deliberately acted to influence the outcome. All seven justices backed the ruling.
The case began with a complaint from President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's re-election campaign, which alleged that Meta's platforms treated content from the Lula and Flávio Bolsonaro campaigns differently. Reporting Justice Marco Aurélio Bellizze wrote that the record contains technical failures acknowledged by Facebook itself, but no elements allowing the court to conclude, at this stage, that there was deliberate action to unbalance the election; Meta had admitted that technical glitches mistakenly deactivated several of Lula's campaign advertisements. The court found that Meta missed deadlines and supplied information that was incomplete, generic or in another language.
The fine is the sum of daily penalties: 500,000 reais a day for three days, October 17 to 19, and 1 million reais a day for six days, October 20 to 25, totaling 7.5 million reais. Lula defeated Bolsonaro in the October 25 runoff to win re-election.
