Jones Manoel stated that Meta admitted to a flaw in the counting of video views on Instagram during the second round of elections and that, until then, it had not clarified which content was affected, the extent of the problem, or whether the distribution of posts was harmed. He said that Instagram and Facebook had a significant influence on the circulation of information, while the criteria of their algorithms remained little transparent. He argued that digital and data sovereignty should occupy a central position in Brazilian politics and that foreign companies should be subjected to transparency, oversight, and accountability. Manoel also stated that Brazil needed to develop its own capacity to protect data and ensure algorithmic transparency. He said he intended to put the topic at the center of the debate in the National Congress in 2027 and rejected, in his words, that the country should be treated as the backyard of the United States. #SoberaniaDigital #Algoritmos #Transparência (translated)
