In 2023, Meta said it was working on efforts related to Brazil&#8217;s election, such as removing posts that questioned the legitimacy of votes.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, Meta said in an emailed statement to CBS MoneyWatch that it has been &#8220;removing content calling for people to take up arms or forcibly invade Congress, the Presidential palace and other federal buildings&#8221; in Brazil.
