TSE orders Nikolas Ferreira and Flávio Bolsonaro to remove video using children
The Brazilian Superior Electoral Court (TSE) has ordered Federal Deputy Nikolas Ferreira and Senator Flávio Bolsonaro to remove a video featuring children criticizing President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Minister Marco Aurélio Bellizze ruled that the content, which attributed economic and security issues to Lula, engaged in the “inadequate exploitation of childhood innocence” to spread potentially misleading narratives.
In a separate digital development, Nikolas Ferreira shared footage of a protest in Ceará where an object representing Flávio Bolsonaro was burned. Meanwhile, Deputy André Janones, leader of the “Exército do Lula” digital group, faces ongoing legal scrutiny. Janones is a defendant in the Supreme Federal Court (STF) for insults against Jair Bolsonaro and has faced multiple civil convictions for moral damages related to his social media posts.
These events highlight the intensifying digital warfare and legal battles surrounding political figures and disinformation in Brazil.
