CNN —Since President-elect Donald Trump’s political comeback on Tuesday, Brazil’s former President Jair Bolsonaro and his supporters have celebrated his victory as their own. In many ways, nowhere has Trump’s political strategy been more rigorously mirrored than in Brazil. At the Trump watch party in Mar-a-Lago on election night, Donald Trump Jr. posed for a photo with his Brazilian counterpart, former first son and congressman Eduardo Bolsonaro. Eduardo Bolsonaro, member of the Brazil Chamber of Deputies, speaks during the Conservative Political Action Conference at the National Harbor, in Oxon Hill, Maryland, on Feb. 24, 2024. Eduardo spearheaded the creation of CPAC Brasil, a Brazilian adaptation of the US Conservative Political Action Conference.

BRASILIA, Jan 25 (Reuters) - Brazil's Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes fined on Wednesday messaging app Telegram for failing to comply with a court order that called for the suspension of accounts of supporters of former President Jair Bolsonaro. Telegram will be fined 1.2 million reais ($236,527), the decision said. Moraes gave Telegram five days to pay the fine from the day of the decision. In March 2022, Moraes ordered the suspension of messaging app Telegram, saying it had repeatedly refused to adhere to judicial orders to freeze accounts spreading disinformation. The suspension was revoked days later, after the company complied with court requests.

REUTERS/Adriano Machado/File PhotoSAO PAULO, Dec 3 (Reuters) - Twitter owner Elon Musk said on Saturday he thought it was "possible" that personnel at the social media firm gave preference to left-wing candidates during Brazil's election this year, without providing evidence. "I've seen a lot of concerning tweets about the recent Brazil election," Musk wrote on Twitter when asked by a user about elections possibly "handled" by the company's previous management. "If those tweets are accurate, it's possible that Twitter personnel gave preference to left wing candidates," added the billionaire. Both Lula and Bolsonaro widely used Twitter during their campaigns.
