alt Hacker NewsI don't know anything about this specific case, but in elections more generally, wouldn't filtering all candidates equally simply favor incumbents?

Eh, I think it'd favour whoever has the bigger media apparatus running other accounts supporting them... which also seems like a weird decision.
Brazilian electoral law tries to ensure all candidates have equitable access to media air time prior to the election. This filtering apparently exists to prevent distortions like X itself pushing candidates.
