TL;DR

  • Mendonça ruled Hilton's post did not spread fake news regarding Flávio Bolsonaro's intentions.
  • The minister upheld the TSE's broader order against disinformation but rejected Hilton's request to change the system.

  • A prior decision by Minister Flávio Dino had initially lifted similar post removal orders, but Minister Luiz Fux reinstated Mendonça's decision.
