Well, joke's on you Brazil. I doubt Meta can mine any more data than they already have.

They already have all the names, pictures, face biometrics, social graph, location information, political affiliation, relationships and everything that goes into an advertising profile. What else is needed?

They can just use the data already mined, which is probably 99% of everything they will ever need for many years to come. They probably have so much data they can use AI to predict what's missing with a fairly degree of accuracy, like what your face is going to look like in 20 years.

And due to the highly corrupt nature of politics, a few dollars here and there will undo this regulation fairly quickly. Or they could buy it from another company, because the law must be so poorly constructed that a clever lawyer will surely find workaround and they will be OK.

How do you prove that an AI=>LLM has been trained on specific data? How is this enforceable? How is this anything more than some local politicians looking for some headlines?
That too. They never get audited and if they do, it's in another jurisdiction.
