Days before Brazil’s presidential run-off election, incumbent President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and challenger Jair Bolsonaro escalated their legal battles by filing mutual requests for disqualification over alleged social media malfeasance. Court filings and campaign officials confirmed that the latest showdown in the increasingly rancorous race took place on Tuesday.
As part of these legal attacks, messaging service WhatsApp and its parent company Meta have been drawn directly into the political conflict. Both presidential camps are targeting digital platforms and each other as tensions reach a peak ahead of the decisive weekend vote.
