SAO PAULO (Reuters) - A Sao Paulo-court ordered Facebook-parent Meta to stop using its name in Brazil within 30 days, after a local computer services provider with the same name filed a lawsuit saying it has been damaged by third parties confusing the companies.

The decision is from Wednesday and was reported late evening on Thursday by Brazilian newspaper Valor.
