Lula calls for Flávio Bolsonaro's disqualification over alleged Meta interference in Brazilian election

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's campaign petitioned the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) to disqualify right-wing challenger Flávio Bolsonaro, alleging Meta limited content to boost Bolsonaro's campaign. Bolsonaro countered by petitioning to disqualify Lula over mass government posts on WhatsApp. Meta denied unequal treatment and stated it would comply with a Brazilian court order to ensure equality, following UN experts' concerns about discrepancies in campaign reach on Meta platforms. The run-off election is set for Sunday, with 159 million registered voters.
