Social media platform Meta has 48 hours to respond to claims by Brazil’s leftwing candidate and incumbent President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s campaign accusing the tech platform of blocking content on the company’s platforms. Brazil’s Superior Electoral Court on Saturday gave the social media giant 48 hours to clarify whether it reduced the reach of posts by Lula’s campaign ahead of the tight October 25 run-off against rightwing candidate Flavio Bolsonaro.

    Well my understanding is that no one is doing much for the favelas. Not even Lula in his first term did much for them. And he’s capable of much less now with the endemic Brazilian right wing funded and supported by the wealthy in my country. But that’s about as bad as I’ve seen. So yeah I really don’t understand the characterization or lumping him with the others. Their legislature there is chock full of bolansario allies. Who are Express enemies of Lula, and the rest of the legislature aren’t really allies either.

    I suspect the characterization may have to do with the more radical-minded. If he’s not fomenting revolution somehow. He’s an evil failure?
