Two days have passed since the scenes of chaos and looting on Saturday, but walking down Rue Beaurepaire in Paris on Monday, one can still smell burning in the air, likely coming from the heaps of burned rubbish and charred bicycles left among the smashed shopfronts.

Centenas de manifestantes protestaram no começo da noite de segunda-feira (19), na região das sedes da Meta e do Google, na zona oeste de São Paulo. Com o slogan “Meta, não se meta”, os participantes apontaram censura nas participações de ativistas nas redes sociais, falta de neutralidade na mediação dos conteúdos e defesa de interesses próprios na gestão dos conteúdos e comunidades. Notícias relacionadas:TSE dá 24 horas para Meta dar informações sobre igualdade de campanhas.Justiça Federal manda Meta restabelecer contas estudantis do RS.As entidades tentaram entregar um manifesto à Meta, responsável por plataformas como Facebook, Instagram e WhatsApp, mas, segundo os organizadores, não foi permitido o protocolo do documento, que será encaminhado digitalmente, em ação de massa. “O nosso pedido é por algo que deveria ser básico, pois ferramentas como essa acabam por sustentar todo um debate público. A gente pede que seja mais transparente, a gente pede que tenha lugares para monitorar e pessoas possam acompanhar, e que haja relatórios sobre o que eles estão fazendo”, explicou a programadora Veronica Gimenez, que participou da organização do ato pela ONG TravaHacker. A soberania digital e popular também foi lembrada nas falas, com críticas à presença de grandes empresas de dados na gestão de parte dos sistemas de governo. “Por essa ganância de monopólio, as empresas cometem abusos e não conseguem cumprir compromissos básicos de respeito ao nosso debate público e à nossa democracia. Por isso não é o primeiro e não será o último documento que direcionamos à empresa”, complementou Gimenez. A falta de proteção a grupos minoritários e o fomento a discursos de ódio nos algoritmos também tiveram destaque, assim como a desigualdade no impulsionamento de conteúdos de direita, segundo alguns dos presentes. “Fui banido, mesmo com ordem judicial favorável. Há 11 meses eles (Meta) não cumprem a liminar, desrespeitam as decisões do nosso sistema legal. Essas plataformas estão influenciando nas eleições de nosso país, essas empresas têm lado e não é o lado do povo”, declarou o ativista Thiago Torres Santos, conhecido como Chavoso da USP. Organizações da sociedade civil e movimentos sociais realizam protesto em frente à sede da Meta, na avenida Faria Lima Foto: Paulo Pinto/Agência Brasil TSE Na semana passada, o Tribunal Superior Eleitoral (TSE) atendeu a um pedido da campanha do presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, candidato à reeleição, para que a Meta explique dados segundo os quais estaria desfavorecendo conteúdos do campo político de Lula e dando destaque ao campo adversário, infringindo a legislação eleitoral. Outra queixa está numa possível desigualdade no impulsionamento de anúncios pagos. A campanha do presidenciável Flávio Bolsonaro também ingressou com reclamação semelhante no TSE. Hoje, o ministro Marco Aurélio Bellizze deu 24 horas para que a empresa comprove a adoção de medidas de isonomia na distribuição de posts políticos e na veiculação de anúncios de campanha. Em nota, a Meta alegou que a dificuldade na geração de conteúdos e no acesso a comunidades e grupos ocorre por conta do excesso de regras eleitorais e de demora natural ao processo de checagem e liberação de conteúdos.

Delano D'Souza is pleased to welcome Gökçe Tuncel, Sociologist and post-doctoral researcher associated with the Université Paris-Est Créteil (UPEC) and the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences (EHESS) in Paris. What began as a protest over missing teachers and inadequate resources at a high school in Créteil has rapidly evolved into a wider mobilization challenging structural inequalities within France’s public education system. “This is not a problem of short-term solutions. This is a structural problem that they are denouncing, and their demands are structural changes,” explains Tuncel. The movement's rapid expansion reflects more than the organizational power of social media. It reveals a growing political consciousness among young people confronting deteriorating educational infrastructure, unequal access to resources, and an increasingly uncertain future.
