Presidential elections in Brazil. Flavio Bolsonaro goes to court, and Lula da Silva accuses Meta

Former Brazilian President Bolsonaro accused current President Lula of abusing power by promoting government actions on WhatsApp during the election campaign. Bolsonaro's lawyers filed a complaint with the Electoral Supreme Court (TSE) seeking to annul Lula's candidacy. Meanwhile, Lula's campaign team accused Meta of manipulating algorithms to harm Lula's campaign. Meta acknowledged technical issues affecting the promotion of Lula's content but denied election interference. The TSE has given Meta 24 hours to prove equal treatment of both candidates or face fines. In the first round of elections, Bolsonaro received 47% of the votes, while Lula got 45%. Lula aims for a fourth term, focusing on social programs and international cooperation, amidst rising living costs and crime. The stakes of this election extend beyond Brazil, involving issues like the Amazon's future and global power dynamics.
