According to Leandro, false information circulates on social networks and messaging applications, often produced with artificial intelligence resources, such as so-called deepfakes, which manipulate images and voices to attribute false statements to a person. "Fighting disinformation is a challenge for the Electoral Justice and for democracy itself. Even before the candidates are defined, we already have misinformation actions being taken to voters via social networks," he stated. The judge highlighted that, given the ease of dissemination of false content, it is also up to the voter to verify the origin of the information before sharing it. "If he receives something with this derogatory material from the person, don't share it, don't take it forward. If there is information, stop for a moment, look for other sources to compare whether that information about the candidate is true or not", he advised.
