Lula and Bolsonaro exchange disqualification requests due to Meta platforms

Flávio Bolsonaro requested the disqualification of rival Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, accusing him of abusive propaganda via Meta platforms. Lula's campaign countered with a request to annul Bolsonaro's candidacy, citing algorithmic manipulation by Meta. The TSE has mandated Meta to ensure equal treatment of both campaigns. Lula alleged Meta's interference in the election, claiming restrictions on his content. The PT party has also involved the OAS in the matter. In the first round, Bolsonaro led with 47.03% of the votes against Lula's 45.16%.
