David Ágape wrote that, weeks before the first round of the elections, More in Common Brasil and researchers from UFRJ downloaded and politically categorized about 7,500 broadcasts of masses and services, totaling nearly 14,000 hours of audio. According to him, the church channels were monitored for two months in search of political and electoral references. Ágape stated that the NGO claimed to have used its own resources, but documents indicated that Luminate, an organization funded by Pierre Omidyar, had allocated around R$ 1.3 million to set up the Brazilian operation. He also mentioned Open Society, founded by George Soros, as a supporter of another research project by the branch. According to the author, the cost of monitoring and the source of the resources had not been detailed, and those responsible for the organization did not respond to some questions. https://t.co/MzuOako95t #Eleições2023 #Transparência #Religião (translated)
