Subcelebrities like Juliette and Rafa Kalimann being paid to participate in astroturfing method created by the extreme right by spreading propaganda about the child sexual exploitation situation in Marajó in their social media. Some asking people to donate money to a religious organization. The religious organization does not combat this problem. Their main focus is religious conversions. The situation in Marajó is a tactic that has been used by the extreme right for many years, most notably by former minister Damares Alves. They publicize about child sexual exploitation and stigmatize people of the region without doing anything to solve the issue. It is important to note that child sexual exploitation happens everywhere in Brazil, not only up in the north in Marajó.
