Meta is apparently intimidating Brazilian researchers to deter them from looking too deeply at ads and disinformation:
"This is an attack on scientific research work, and attempts at intimidation of researchers ... especially with regard to paid content that causes harm to consumers ... and that threaten the future of our democracy."
Also:
"In 2021 ... Meta disabled the accounts of researchers at NYU’s Ad Observatory Project... Those involved denounced the social network's account cutoff as an attempt to stifle legitimate research into disinformation."
