Attorney General Jorge Messias said Friday that the Brazilian government will provide meta-elements to Monday to explain changes in its fact-checking plan.
The move comes after social media companies canceled their U.S. fact-checking program and reduced restrictions on discussions on topics such as immigration and gender identity.
It is not clear what will happen after the deadline expires.
“I want to express the great concern of the Brazilian government to the policies adopted by the Met Corporation, just like the wind and rain at the airport, according to the wind, has been changing its location,” Messias, the government’s top lawyer, told reporters Brasilia.
Mesias added: “Brazilian society will not be at the mercy of such policies.”
On Thursday, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula Da Silva said the changes were “very serious” and announced that he had convened a meeting to discuss the topic.
Yuan did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
In announcing the move on Tuesday, CEO Mark Zuckerberg cited “too many mistakes and too much censorship.” At present, the dollar is only planning to target changes in the U.S. market only, a spokesperson said Tuesday.
Reuters, a meta-partner in its U.S. fact-check program, declined to comment.
