President Lula's campaign is preparing to petition Brazil's electoral court to annul right-wing rival Flavio Bolsonaro's candidacy, alleging that Meta engaged in algorithmic manipulation to suppress Lula's content and amplify Bolsonaro's ahead of Sunday's presidential runoff. The petition claims social media interference by the US tech giant affected the race.
Why it matters
The petition directly challenges the legitimacy of a major candidate in Brazil's presidential runoff and alleges foreign tech-platform interference in a national election.
What remains uncertain
The outcome of the petition and whether the electoral court will accept the annulment request remain unresolved.
