“Even before the election, we designated Brazil as a temporary high-risk location and began removing content that encourages people to take up arms or invade Congress, the Planalto Palace and other public buildings,” the company explained. “On Sunday, we also identified this action as a violation, which means we will be removing content that supports or extols these actions.”
“We are actively monitoring the situation and will continue to remove content that violates our policies,” Meta added.
