The example showcased is particularly weak, but the actual scandal with Meta AI is that when they are asked to produce campaign material, they spontaneously produce it with Bolsonaro's number (22), even when not asked. But then they refuse to produce it with other numbers like Lula's 13, saying they can't perform this for a specific candidate. When asked, they admit they were inconsistent in producing Bolsonaro-linked material, but in new chats they reliably continue to do so. See for example what was posted in this thread https://www.reddit.com/r/brasil/comments/1x965on/eu_n%C3%A3o... What would be useful here is leaking the system prompt for the Meta AI inside WhatsApp

This is just one of the many claims, like - Meta has suspended Lula's facebook account a week from the election day, and many advertising instagram and facebook accounts associated with his campaign have been consistently suspended and then reactivated with days of delay (this is a huge loss in the context of a political campaign) - The reach of his opponents is being inflated to unexplainable proportions while people are having trouble finding Lula's profile by searching for... lula. And then you got people like Nikolas Ferreira, whose videos consistently reach several times his follower numbers and reach several times more views, likes, shares, etc than people like Kim Kardashian, Beyoncé, Messi, etc. He's a Brazilian politician who speaks Portuguese and talks about strictly Brazilian subjects. He recently posted a MUTED video that reached 60 million views in hours. - Lula's big WhatsApp channel for coordinating online campaign actions with voters kept getting suspended over and over - There are reports from Brazilian META EMPLOYEES talking about the unresponsiveness of the internal American team to solve reports they made regarding Lula's platform issues There are so many problems I can't even list them all here without making it a wall of text. It's just too obvious.

I can vouch for having seen this firsthand on Meta AI assistants, the same behavior showing up for many close friends as well as colleagues. This used to be an under the hood and frowned upon type of maneuver, but now it is much more rampant and far reaching thanks to AI

Thank you. As far as circumstantial evidence goes, yours is more intriguing and cause for inquiry.
