Open letter to Meta, TikTok, Twitter and YouTube concerning the upcoming Brazilian election

A group of international digital rights organisations and researchers have called on major social media platforms to act against disinformation and violence surrounding the 2022 Brazilian election. The letter supports a report by over 110 Brazilian civil society organisations which outlines 38 policy recommendations. These recommendations focus on protecting marginalized groups, combating climate-related disinformation, ensuring transparent ad libraries, and safeguarding the electoral process from attempts to discredit it.

• The signatories urge social media platforms to adopt 38 policy recommendations developed by over 110 Brazilian civil society organisations in the report 'The Role Of Digital Platforms In Protecting Electoral Integrity In The 2022 Brazilian Election'. These recommendations cover five categories: combating political violence against women, black people, Indigenous people, traditional populations, quilombolas and LGBTQIA+; addressing mis/disinformation regarding the Amazon, climate, and environment; guaranteeing user rights against platform errors; providing transparent and equal ad libraries; and general election integrity guidelines.
• The letter highlights existing evidence of social media being used to discredit the electoral process and to issue threats of violence against candidates, with a particular emphasis on the targeting of women and Indigenous peoples.
