According to the chief advisor to the TSE, Ana Cristina Rosa, in an interview with Estadão, the measure is a positive step compared to 2018, when the WhatsApp did not adopt resources aimed at curbing the dissemination of misleading content.
“Last year, we had a series of initiatives on the part of platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and Google. That was very important. But in the specific case of WhatsApp, it was very difficult. Now that seems to be changing, they are more open.”

How to fight disinformation? 384bc
The desire to fight irregularities is already old, so much so that the TSE already developed a application for voters to file complaints. However, in the case of combating disinformation, six thematic axes will be used, the first being “Internal organization”, which aims to integrate the coordination of the levels and areas that make up the organizational structure of the Electoral Justice.
The second axis is “Media and Information Literacy”, which, as the name says, teaches the public to check and understand when something is “fake” or not. Soon after comes the “Containment of Misinformation”, instituting concrete measures to discourage actions to spread false information.
Going to the fourth point is what they call “Misinformation Identification and Checking”, where the TSE plans to improve the identification of false content to prevent its dissemination.
And finally, the last two are called “Improving the Legal System” e “Improvement of Technological Resources”, which are self-explanatory.
