"Defaming scientists has become a global strategy of Big Techs in order to try to silence critics in universities."

"In the United States, the social network has gone as far as banning researchers from accessing data after they did something that displeased the company."

Meta tried to discredit researchers who identified fraudulent ads in its platforms

Meta's lawyers called researchers from NetLab, a research group affiliated with one of Brazil's top universities, "biased" and "unable to produce technical evidence" after the company was fined for fraudulent ads using the name of a federal government program.
