Lula and Bolsonaro exchange requests for disqualification

Flávio Bolsonaro has requested the disqualification of rival Lula da Silva, accusing him of abusive propaganda via Meta's platforms during the election. Lula's campaign plans to counter this by alleging algorithmic manipulation by Meta to disadvantage him. The TSE has mandated Meta to ensure equal treatment of both campaigns. Lula's team claims Meta restricted their content while favoring Bolsonaro's. Despite these accusations, Meta asserts it has implemented measures to treat both candidates equally. In the first round of voting, Bolsonaro led slightly over Lula, a trend that historically favors the frontrunner in Brazilian elections.
