Meta briefly disabled ads on the Facebook page of Brazil’s leftwing president on Friday – just days before he faces a far-right challenger in national elections.

    Assuming Lula wins reelection one of the principal concerns of the country’s national security interests should be banning U.S.-owned social media companies.

      At this point, there is a good chance the US would do what they did in Venezuela if Lula wins.

        I find unlikely, Lula is way more respected in the liberal “democracies” than Maduro. Not the Trump cares about but I think most of the staff could oppose this shit.

          We’ll see, it seems like he surrounded himself with like minded people this time around. Owning the libs could be seen as a power move by them.

          i doubt it would be something like venezuela, but they WILL intervene somehow if lula wins. they aren’t being too subtle about it.

          lula has commented on it, and the lawfare has already begun. the alternative media is already saying it. even us democrats.

            They will probably go with Guaidó/Machado route before doing the extra shit.

              bolsonaro is their machado in brazil. there’s always the rest of the treacherous military leadership to help them out if they fail, and i doubt lula can fix it.

    they did it to jones manoel, an actual communist, when he was about to viralize to the mainatream from his great participation in a debate.

    if they did it to a much smaller figure, of course they’d do it to lula.

    people’s minds will never be free for as long as they use us social media.

      The problem with bringing up Cambridge Analytica is that 1) their schemes were found not to be effective and 2) it feeds BlueAnon conspiracy theories.

        money was made though, if it works or not facebook plays a role on elections and ads and they generally favour the right wing ones. but yeah, i didn’t know about that, tho, thanks.
