Lula campaign triggers federal police over crypto-for-posts scheme targeting Bolsonaro ally

Brazil's presidential campaign of Lula has activated the Federal Police against a website offering cryptocurrency 'B22' in exchange for social media posts supporting Senator Flávio Bolsonaro. The site was promoted via profiles of African children with large followings, suggesting a coordinated disinformation or influence operation. The move signals escalating political tensions ahead of the election, with potential implications for campaign integrity and social media regulation.
