Companies were present on the platform with different profiles under different names. Among them were InstaBrasil, Seguidoresgram, InstaCurtidas, SMM Revenda and Seguidores Brasil.
According to the communiqué that Meta published last week, in some of these agreements for the purchase and sale of followers, companies requested the user's password and login, making the practice even more criminal, as it is not known for what purpose they were used these data.
According to sources who had access to the files, the accusations made by Meta were classified as serious by judge Luis Felipe Ferrari Bedendi. The case is being judged by the 1st and 2nd Business and Arbitration Courts of São Paulo.
According to the deadline stipulated by the judge, the two accused companies need to manifest themselves within five days, and also deactivate the accounts that promote false engagement. Meta already said that only here in Brazil, more than 40 companies of the type have already been notified for promoting this practice.
