Brazilian President Lula da Silva vowed to regulate social media platforms like $X in his victory speech, citing concerns over "unfiltered speech" about Brazil's elections. Lula framed online criticism of election discrepancies as "interference."
The remarks come amid pushback over election result scrutiny on $X, where users have raised questions about vote counting irregularities. Critics argue the proposed regulations target platforms that allow open debate on electoral processes.
Lula's administration has previously clashed with tech platforms over content moderation policies, particularly around political speech and election-related claims.
