The STF ruled in 2025 that Article 19 of Brazil's Internet Civil Rights Law is partially unconstitutional, expanding platform liability for user-generated illegal content beyond court-ordered removals. Toffoli's proposal requires platforms with over 1 million Brazilian users to implement 'duty of care' standards, transparency reporting, and dedicated support channels within 60 days of judgment publication.

Global tech industry
Brazil asserts regulatory sovereignty over Big Tech, reducing platform autonomy. This strengthens judicial authority in the Global South and may inspire similar regulatory frameworks in other developing nations, shifting power from Silicon Valley toward national governments.
Similar to EU's Digital Services Act (2022), establishing regional digital governance standards that challenge US-centric tech regulation models.

Consumers may experience improved content safety regarding illegal material (terrorism, child exploitation, suicide incitement) but face potential service disruptions during 60-day implementation period. Increased moderation could affect content availability and user experience.
Establishes precedent for platform liability in Brazil, likely triggering similar regulatory frameworks across Latin America. Creates compliance burden favoring larger platforms (1M+ users threshold) while exempting smaller competitors. May prompt tech companies to increase compliance spending and potentially lobby for regulatory clarification or extension.
