Brazil TSE Reverses Lula Campaign Channel Suspension, Imposes Monitoring
Brazil's Superior Electoral Court (TSE) President, Minister Nunes Marques, has reversed the suspension of the 'Exército do Lula' Telegram and WhatsApp channels. This action follows the Lula campaign meeting court requirements, but the channels are now subject to registration with Electoral Justice and ongoing monitoring for misinformation. This represents a judicial shift in electoral content enforcement ahead of the 2026 elections.
