Choquei

Choquei is a social media account on Instagram and Twitter operated by Brazilian Raphael Sousa Oliveira since 2014. Initially focused on entertainment news and gossip, the account became notorious for covering real-world news starting in 2022. In February of that year, it began reporting on the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but faced criticism for sharing unverified information and fake news. Later that year, it gained attention for its coverage of Brazilian politics during the presidential election, adopting an anti-Jair Bolsonaro and pro-Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva stance. The account received national attention in December 2023 after a young woman died by suicide due to fake news published by the page.
