   I hope Lula wins and they will ban Facebook for good after the elections. This is an attack on Brazil’s sovereignty.

      nothing good usually comes out of governments censoring internet

         Then they should go wild on a governmental campaign about how FB is bad for mental health with daily TV, radio ads etc. Fight fire with fire.

            How would you go on a ad campaign against Facebook, using Facebook ads, where Facebook have already blocked your ads?

            I don't know the exact media landscape of this world any more, but I can say I don't personally own a TV and can't even remember when I last watched live, and given all the TVs in stores sell themselves on how "smart" they are and which streaming services they work with I don't want to guess what normal viewing habits are.

            Similarly, the closest I get to radio ads are in podcasts. If I own a radio, it's been forgotten in the bottom of a box for years and at least two house moves.

            I have no idea which companies are ultimately behind podcast ads.
