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.
