Abstract

This article seeks to carry out a bibliographical review on the platformization of journalism and analyze the governance of Facebook and its controversies in the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic, through a theoretical review and cartography ofcontroversies in official speeches, comparing them with Facebook's governance practice in 2020, when the platform was the most used by Brazilians to obtain information, according to Digital News Report 2020e 2021. Since January 2020, Facebook has removedfalse publications about Covid-19, but the platform's efforts came up against controversial partnerships, such as with the Brazilian Ministry of Health, which promoted the Covid-19 kit. The then president of Brazil Jair Bolsonaro had his post deleted by the platform. Even so, the partnership between Facebook and the Ministry of Health was maintained.
