He’s completely aligned with US interests because he is the best definition of the word puppet in the context of geopolitics.

You forgot to mention the judge who personally coordinated with the prosecutor to convict Lula in the first place was later appointed as Bolsonaro's minister of Justice. And ever since then, idiots like to pretend lawfare is not a thing unless done to one of Bolsonaro's ball lickers.

This is just one of the many claims, like

- Meta has suspended Lula's facebook account a week from the election day, and many advertising instagram and facebook accounts associated with his campaign have been consistently suspended and then reactivated with days of delay (this is a huge loss in the context of a political campaign)

- The reach of his opponents is being inflated to unexplainable proportions while people are having trouble finding Lula's profile by searching for... lula. And then you got people like Nikolas Ferreira, whose videos consistently reach several times his follower numbers and reach several times more views, likes, shares, etc than people like Kim Kardashian, Beyoncé, Messi, etc. He's a Brazilian politician who speaks Portuguese and talks about strictly Brazilian subjects. He recently posted a MUTED video that reached 60 million views in hours.

- Lula's big WhatsApp channel for coordinating online campaign actions with voters kept getting suspended over and over

- There are reports from Brazilian META EMPLOYEES talking about the unresponsiveness of the internal American team to solve reports they made regarding Lula's platform issues

There are so many problems I can't even list them all here without making it a wall of text. It's just too obvious.

When WhatsApp was banned for a day, people immediately migrated to Telegram. This is not an excuse.

Well, with all due respect, fuck them. If they’re so desperate, let them use VPNs.

Yeah, me too, but he’s a coward. I wish there would be an actual leftist running for president this year.

Facebook is not the internet. If anything, their existence is a net negative for the internet.

Like what?

How? How involved? Like what exactly did he do?

How large a monitor would you have to have to play all these videos simultaneously in a jerkable resolution?

Oh boy, the internet is anything but what it was supposed to be. I can't really bring myself to remember without feeling bad about it. The centralization, the power of certain businesses, the surveillance, dark patterns everywhere. Hell, you catch people simping for billionaires and asking, "Is that legal?" to scraping posts. Here. In HACKER news. So yeah. Depressing.
