Brazil Supreme Court orders telecom regulator to weigh election internet guarantee

Justice Cristiano Zanin of Brazil's Supreme Court has given Anatel, AGU, and PGR 48 hours to respond to a request by the Green Party and education workers' confederation to ensure internet access for users who exhaust mobile data allowances within 72 hours before and 24 hours after each election round. The petitioners allege Anatel's negligence allows operators to block access, potentially affecting voters' ability to access information. This is a pre-election legal maneuver with implications for electoral integrity and telecom regulation.
