In Brazil, Lula (just ahead of an election) signed an executive order banning online betting, and made criticism of the "bets" a prominent theme on the campaign trail. A few years ago I remember reading that 20% of his signature cash transfer program was going to bets www.reuters.com/world/americ...

As Brazilians go to the polls next weekend, they'd do well to reflect on what the right-wing populist next door has wrought: poverty!
Lula would be vastly better than Bolsonaro for the vast majority of Brazilians ... and the world, whose lungs are the mighty Amazon forest.

This is literally happening right now in Brazil, where Meta just suspended Lula's account and restricted his party's advertising account just before the election. They have been restored but illustrates the risk. www.metropoles.com/brasil/meta-... (Portuguese)

Brazil has banned Online Betting.

So should the UK.

Would you support a ban in the UK?

@lulaoficialbluesky.bsky.social

Acabamos com as bets no Brasil.

As bets estão destruindo a renda das famílias, afetando a saúde mental e levando sofrimento para dentro de casa. Por isso, tomamos uma decisão firme, de fazer o que tem que ser feito: acabar com as bets.
