Ghost pages spend more than R$ 1.3 million on attacks on Flávio Bolsonaro and Tarcísio on the networks

The episode of the 15 Minutos podcast investigates the use of fake pages on social networks that spent over R$1.3 million to promote negative attacks against Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) and Governor Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicans). The analysis highlights that 27 profiles with few followers were used to bypass electoral legislation, potentially leading to disqualification due to abuse of economic power or improper use of communication channels. The program also discusses the concentration of these actions in states like São Paulo and Minas Gerais, where the government faces political challenges, and presents data on the increase in federal advertising spending, which for the first time prioritized digital platforms over traditional television channels.
