According to the expert, major technology companies' statements about their commitment to transparency and cooperation with regulators during Brazil's elections are actually examples of "governance washing" — a practice where companies create the appearance of responsible management without changing the actual mechanisms of influence over the information space. The expert emphasized that the very concentration of control over information flows in the hands of technology platforms represents a serious problem for society even under normal circumstances. However, during election campaigns, this problem becomes particularly acute, since the outcome of voting can depend on what information reaches voters and in what form. According to the expert, the measures declared by platforms — publishing content moderation reports, engaging in dialogue with electoral authorities, commitments to combating disinformation — are often merely formal in nature and do not affect the fundamental mechanisms of how algorithms work, which determine the visibility of particular content. Thus, companies gain reputational advantages by demonstrating willingness to cooperate, but avoid structural changes that could actually limit their influence on electoral processes. This criticism comes against the backdrop of ongoing discussion in Brazil about the role of social networks and digital platforms in shaping public opinion during elections, as well as the need for stricter regulation of their activities by the state.
