Lula and Bolsonaro exchange disqualification requests due to Meta platforms

Flávio Bolsonaro and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva have exchanged requests for disqualification related to Meta's platforms during the Brazilian presidential campaign. Bolsonaro's team accuses Lula of abusive propaganda via a government WhatsApp account, while Lula's campaign claims algorithmic manipulation by Meta to disadvantage him. The TSE has mandated Meta to ensure equal treatment of both campaigns. Lula's team alleges that Meta restricted their content on Instagram and WhatsApp, while the company denies any bias. In the first round of voting, Bolsonaro led slightly with 47.03% against Lula's 45.16%.
