Folha de S.PauloIndependentCenterFactual 85Objective 7513 days agoPresident Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva announced a new phase of the 'Celular Seguro' program aimed at combating the illegal trade of stolen mobile phones. The initiative involves sending messages to users of devices registered as stolen, urging them to return the phones. The program, launched in December 2023, was developed in response to rising smartphone thefts, partly driven by the ease of Pix transfers. It draws inspiration from state-level programs, including one from the PT-governed state of Piauí. The government plans to use data from voluntary registrations to target illegal sales points and reduce the market for stolen devices. Users who purchase second-hand phones can now check if they were previously reported as stolen through a federal platform.

The article suggests that Lula’s decision reflects political considerations rather than adherence to the law, potentially undermining the effectiveness of the program.
Bias read (Progressive): The article frames Lula's actions as politically motivated, emphasizing his leniency towards those who buy stolen phones, particularly the poor, and criticizing the lack of alignment with the legal framework.
