(BBC News) Meta to block pro-demonstration content
Meta says it has declared the storming of Brazil's Congress a "violating event" and that it will start removing and blocking content defending the attack.

A spokesperson for the company - whose platforms include Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp - told the BBC that it would immediately remove posts "calling for people to take up arms or forcibly invade Congress, the Presidential palace and other federal buildings".

"We're also designating this as a violating event, which means we will remove content that supports or praises these actions," the spokesperson added. "We’re actively following the situation and will continue removing content that violates our policies.”

Meta has previously flagged other serious incidents - including the 6 January attacks on the US Capitol - as violating events. The policy allows the company to speed up the removal of harmful content.
 
I think I'd like to know exactly whats going on if I lived there. To do so I would visit legit news websites ...so Meta/Facebook can block whatever it wants.
