TSE orders Meta to preserve data from profiles promoting Flávio on Instagram

The Superior Electoral Court in Brazil has ordered Meta to preserve data from Instagram profiles that are promoting candidate Flávio, as part of an ongoing electoral investigation. Additionally, the court has suspended sales links in the investigated profiles and ordered Shopee to identify those responsible.

This development highlights the increasing scrutiny of social media platforms in relation to electoral influence and commerce. The preservation of data and suspension of sales links demonstrates the importance of transparency and accountability in social commerce, particularly when it comes to political advertising and influencer marketing.
