## The brief

EFF, Access Now and Data Privacy Brasil have issued recommendations linking privacy safeguards to the integrity of Brazil's elections. They argue that political profiling and AI-generated material can amplify manipulative targeting. The proposals call for coordination among regulators, civil society and platforms, along with stronger oversight of personal-data use and limits on political microtargeting during defined periods.
