In Brazil Court Orders Facebook Remove ‘Fake News’ Video

Brazil’s Electoral Tribunal has ordered Facebook to delete 38 accounts for disseminating verifiably false information targeting Workers’ Party (PT) vice presidential candidate Manuela D’Avila. On Monday, the court ruled in favor of the Happy People Again Coalition, which supports PT presidential candidate Fernando Haddad and his running mate, to have a video and the associated accounts deleted. According to the legal team for the Happy People Again Coalition, a previous judge had ruled for the video attacking D’Avila to be deleted, however, users continued posting it on social media.
