Bolsonaro heard no from WhatsApp under Haddad’s number 2 – 05/10/2023 – Mônica Bergamo

Executive Dario Durigan, who will assume the Executive Secretariat of the Ministry of Finance in place of Gabriel Galípolo, played a role considered central to curbing the massive dissemination of fake news in the 2022 presidential elections.

BARRIER

He was head of public policy at WhatsApp, which belongs to Meta, when the company clashed with Jair Bolsonaro (PL) during the election.

BARRIER 2

The then president could not accept the fact that WhatsApp informed that it would not adopt in Brazil, at that time, a tool that would allow the formation of megagroups in the application.

LIMIT

As a result, the immediate dissemination of information —and also fake news— was limited.

EXPLAIN ME

Bolsonaro pressed and called a meeting with the board of Meta.

I AM REALLY SORRY

The then president, candidate for reelection, credited the postponement to alleged pressure from the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) on WhatsApp, and wanted the immediate adoption of the megagroup tool in Brazil. He took “no” for an answer.

SIGNATURE

At the time, WhatsApp stated that the decision had been made exclusively by the company, “in view of the reliability of the feature’s operation”.

PETIT COMMITTEE

The presenter Sabrina Sato honored the pocket show that the singer Silva did on Tuesday night (9), at the Fasano São Paulo Itaim hotel, in the capital of São Paulo. The event was held by Vivara to mark the launch of its Mother’s Day collections. Actress Letícia Colin stopped by.
