TL;DR

- The dispute began when Dino reversed Mendonça's order, allowing the reinstatement of content on social media.
- Ministers expressed concern about a potential request for more time to analyze the case and a possible clash within the court.
- Dino's decision involved the humorist Antônio Tabet appealing a ruling related to posts about the title of Patroness of the Mother of Jesus.
- Flávio Bolsonaro's campaign also used a similar tactic, leading to a reversal of Dino's action by Luiz Fux, with both decisions submitted to the plenary.
