No, the censorship came way before that. Way before the election. I saw them censor a documentary preventively. Somehow, they "knew" it was "fake news" before it was even released.

But the documentary was from a left-wing source and claimed that Bolsanaro faked his own stabbing in 2018 in order to bolster public support. It hardly seems that the decision to censor that "documentary" was made to favor Lula.

I have no idea what's in that documentary to be honest. Not sure if it's pro-Lula or pro-Bolsonaro. All I know is they preventively censored it. Not even the military dictatorship of decades past preventively censored material. Censorship is unconstitutional but it's not like these judges care.

If you have no idea what the documentary was about then how do you know preventing its release was unconstitutional? Countries all over the world "censor" material they deem to be libellous.

Censorship is always unconstitutional.
