Meta ads on Lula and Flávio paid in dollars evade political labeling

Nearly 1,000 ads about Brazilian President Lula and Senator Flávio Bolsonaro on Meta platforms were paid for in dollars, totaling $120,000, and circulated without a political content label. This suggests potential foreign or undisclosed funding of political advertising in Brazil, raising concerns about transparency and electoral integrity. The source is Agência Pública, and the claim is based on their investigation; the full extent of the funding origin remains unclear.
