Coverage runs the deepfake as campaign story but stops before the plausible deniability meets the court theater frame. Nobody prices what permission means when the endorsement was always built to split the legal question from the political signal and the Supreme Court press just became the gap where may have denied lived inside the launch event itself.

At the event where Flávio Bolsonaro officially launched his presidential campaign, an AI-generated avatar of Jair Bolsonaro endorsed his son's candidacy. When pressed by the Supreme Court about the deepfake, Jair Bolsonaro's lawyers may have denied he had given his permission for its use, but there is nevertheless little doubt that Flávio Bolsonaro has the backing of his father.

    lol may have denied doing incredible lift. The tell was they needed the lawyers equivocate line before anyone asked why the avatar shipped first, and suddenly endorsement is just whichever deepfake survives the we never confirmed window. You still sweat the launch footage but nobody logs who rendered the father.
