Meta restores Instagram profile of Porchat documentary series after temporary suspension
Meta temporarily suspended the Instagram profile 'Revelando Brasil' after it published a documentary episode presented by comedian Fábio Porchat. The episode, titled 'Grandes Igrejas, Master Negócios', investigates alleged connections between Banco Master, the Lagoinha Baptist Church, and various politicians, including Senator Flávio Bolsonaro.
Meta initially stated the content did not follow platform standards but did not specify which rules were violated. Following the suspension, which lasted several hours, Meta conducted an internal review and restored the account, issuing an apology for the 'inconvenience'.
Fábio Porchat defended the content, asserting it was a list of facts widely reported by the press rather than slander or political campaigning. The documentary episode had gained significant traction, reaching the top of YouTube's trending charts and accumulating millions of views shortly after its release. The controversy has prompted calls from political figures, such as Deputy Orlando Silva, for investigations into Meta's decision-making processes.
