According to Manoel, the decision interrupted the distribution of printed copies and ordered the removal of the digital version, which provided analyses on Petrobras, privatizations, labor rights, and political projects in dispute in the 2026 elections.

He also stated that the candidate had met with the leadership of Globo before the hearing.

Jones Manoel evaluated the Band debate and accused Flávio Bolsonaro of not answering questions and lying about the privatization of the SUS, public security, the 6x1 schedule, and his relationship with militias. He also stated that Flávio would not have the courage to open his banking and telephone records. When talking about the schedule, he said that the senator had promised to end the 6x1 regime for billionaires. Manoel advocated for changes in communication for future debates. He suggested that supporters of President Lula in the studio produce live content from behind the scenes and that there should be more vigorous interventions, in addition to a real-time information checking and dissemination network. He proposed distributing this material through Janones' channel, via WhatsApp, and on other social media. He also stated that the 25th would be the day of the defeat of the Bolsonaro family and said that a "traitor of the homeland" should not occupy the presidency. #Debate2023 #EleiçõesBrasil #Lula (translated)

BLOGDOMACEDO reported that the São Paulo Public Prosecutor's Office requested the preventive detention of Armando Mendonça, vice president of Corinthians, in the case that investigated suspicions of irregularities with sports materials supplied by Nike. According to the author, the news was published by ge this Friday (16), in a report signed by Bruno Cassucci. The request was forwarded to the 25th Criminal Court by prosecutor Cássio Roberto Conserino after the dismissal of Marcelo Munhoes, former Director of Information Technology of the club and a witness considered important by the prosecution. According to the Public Prosecutor's Office, the dismissal occurred on the eve of the instruction hearing scheduled for November 10 and could intimidate witnesses or interfere with the production of evidence. Conserino stated that Munhoes had provided relevant technical elements for the investigation and that the dismissal could also affect other employees called to testify. The author added that the prosecutor pointed out the public support of the Corinthians president, Osmar Stábile, for Mendonça as part of the context and raised suspicions of possible interference in the process. Conserino also opened a new investigative procedure to investigate the circumstances of the dismissal and any potential involvement of Mendonça or third parties in acts aimed at interfering with the investigation. According to BLOGDOMACEDO, Mendonça became a defendant in June after the court accepted the Public Prosecutor's Office's charge. He faced accusations of aggravated continued embezzlement, attempted aggravated continued embezzlement, qualified theft by breach of trust, and coercion in the course of the process. According to the accusation, he had appropriated 131 sports items from Nike, attempted to obtain 19 special jerseys with the NFL patch, and kept eight units of the commemorative edition. The Public Prosecutor's Office also accused him of threatening two witnesses. The author reported that the suspicions arose after an internal audit identified irregularities in the management and distribution of Nike materials in Corinthians. Mendonça denied any irregularities, attributed control problems to the previous management, and questioned the consistency of the audit report. According to ge, he was contacted by the report but had not responded by the time of publication. BLOGDOMACEDO emphasized that it was up to the court to decide on the request for preventive detention and that the request did not mean that the arrest had been decreed. The accusations, he added, still depended on due process. #BlogdoMacedo #Corinthians #MinistérioPúblico #Justiça (translated)

Jones Manoel stated that Meta admitted to a flaw in the counting of video views on Instagram during the second round of elections and that, until then, it had not clarified which content was affected, the extent of the problem, or whether the distribution of posts was harmed. He said that Instagram and Facebook had a significant influence on the circulation of information, while the criteria of their algorithms remained little transparent. He argued that digital and data sovereignty should occupy a central position in Brazilian politics and that foreign companies should be subjected to transparency, oversight, and accountability. Manoel also stated that Brazil needed to develop its own capacity to protect data and ensure algorithmic transparency. He said he intended to put the topic at the center of the debate in the National Congress in 2027 and rejected, in his words, that the country should be treated as the backyard of the United States. #SoberaniaDigital #Algoritmos #Transparência (translated)
