    #Brazil’s #Lula challenges #Meta at electoral court for alleged #algorithmic #bias and #AI restrictions

    Excerpt: "Gean Ferreira and Evelyn Santos, both lawyers of the Lula campaign, said in a statement that Meta’s content delivery is selective against the incumbent and favorable to Bolsonaro, an ally of U.S. President Donald Trump.

    " 'On one hand, content from candidate #LuizInácioLulaDaSilva and his supporters faces delivery restrictions, without any justification or transparency,' the lawyers said. 'On the other hand, profiles acting as political operatives for the opposing side ... receive a disproportionate and artificial reach, garnering more views even than global celebrities.'

    "Lula’s campaign wants Brazil’s top electoral court to order an immediate end to the content restrictions and pressure Meta to make up for the lost traction by doubling its reach to rectify the harm inflicted.

    "On Oct. 11, as Lula’s voters started complaining about their use of Meta tools, the big tech company told the electoral court it rejects accusations of being skewed to Bolsonaro. The company admitted it has faced technical glitches that affect accounts beyond Brazil. It also said it acts in full compliance with Brazil’s electoral regulations and is committed to providing equal platform access for all political parties."

    Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officers reportedly had a text thread competing to pull over the most Black drivers, while using racial slurs in discussions about force against Black residents. More than half a dozen officers have reportedly been recommended for termination or quit.

    A badge should NEVER be a license for discrimination! These allegations call into question traffic stops and use-of-force incidents involving these officers!
