Digital Rights in Brazil and the Platform Regulation Bill Focused on Content Moderation

We will learn about Brazil digital rights challenges and the bill that is proposing to moderate online content and hate speech in the country. The issue of platforms liability and content moderation has become a pressing concern after the storming of the Brazilian capital by far-right supporters of former President Jair Bolsonaro on January, 2023. As a result of the violence that day, the new Lula Da Silva's Brazilian government has actively pursued measures to enhance the responsibility of intermediaries in moderating online content. Although there are risks to freedom of expression and privacy in some regulation proposals, civil society is engaged in the process due to the urgency of platform regulation to promote safer online spaces in the country.

• Raquel Saraiva, president of Instituto de Pesquisa em Direito e Tecnologia do Recife (Law and Technology Research Institute of Recife in Portuguese).
• Pedro Amaral, project leader at Instituto de Pesquisa em Direito e Tecnologia do Recife.
