A presidential election has taken place in Brazil, and the winning campaign is being described as one that succeeded both through and despite the internet. The discussion centres on how social media and online platforms shaped the campaign, its messaging and voter outreach, while also posing challenges such as disinformation and polarisation that candidates had to contend with.
Why now: The role of the internet and social media in deciding the outcome of Brazil's presidential election is drawing attention.
