Lula campaign opens channel for reports of alleged social media censorship
Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s campaign has opened a digital channel for supporters to report what it calls censorship on social media.
The channel covers posts removed, accounts blocked or reach restricted on social platforms.
The campaign says it is mainly concerned about Meta, which it accuses of harming Lula’s presence online during Brazil’s election campaign.
Meta denies targeting Lula and says any problems may be technical.
The campaign will review submissions and send allegations to Brazil’s electoral court, seeking action.
The effort aims to identify possible irregularities and promote transparency and fair conditions on digital platforms during the election.
