Brazil TSE orders removal of posts linking Flávio to saint title removal; Mendonça limits scope

Brazil's Superior Electoral Court (TSE) voted to remove social media posts associating politician Flávio with a proposal to strip the title of 'Our Lady' as a saint, with Justice Mendonça adjusting his vote to narrow the measure's scope. The ruling targets election-related disinformation but raises free-speech concerns. The decision is part of ongoing electoral litigation ahead of the 2026 elections.
