Article 9º-C, inserted into Resolução TSE nº 23.610/2019 by Resolução TSE nº 23.732/2024, forbids using fabricated or manipulated content in electoral advertising, in any form, to spread notoriously untrue or gravely decontextualized facts with the potential to harm the balance of the election or the integrity of the electoral process.
Paragraph 1 specifically prohibits using synthetic audio, video, or combined audio-video content generated or digitally manipulated, even with the depicted person's authorization, to create, replace, or alter the image or voice of a living, deceased, or fictitious person, to harm or benefit a candidacy (a deep fake).
Paragraph 2 makes a violation of the caput or paragraph 1 an abuse of political power and improper use of the means of social communication, exposing the responsible candidacy to loss of its electoral registration.
