Abstract

The article focuses on the penalty imposed by Brazil's environmental regulatory agency on social media company Meta for its failure to remove online posts that had been flagged for selling illegal wildlife. Topics discussed include the amount of fine imposed on Meta, the significance of the ruling to the battle of conservationists and technology policy reformists against technology companies hosting wildlife crime, and the role of conservationists in the punishment imposed on Meta.
