A Brazilian minister blocked the suspension of the 'Exército do Lula' channel without a full court ruling, ahead of elections.
A minister at Brazil's Superior Electoral Court (TSE) blocked Justice Kassio Nunes Marques from suspending the "Exército do Lula" (Lula's Army) online channel without a full court decision. The campaign for presidential candidate Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva had requested the suspension. The platforms Google and X reported no irregularities in the channel's coordinated activities after being questioned.
This ruling intervenes in a pre-election dispute over alleged coordinated disinformation campaigns. Justice Nunes Marques had previously suggested that electoral rules might need adjustment close to the election. The decision to defer the suspension to the full TSE plenary maintains the status quo for the channel, pending further deliberation.
