In a democracy still navigating the boundaries between open expression and public harm, Brazil's Supreme Court has called the internet itself to account. On March 28, the STF will convene experts, civil society, and government voices to examine whether the 2014 Internet Civil Rights Act — which shields platforms from liability until a judge orders content removed — still serves the public good in an era of rampant misinformation and hate speech.

Consumers may benefit from faster removal of harmful content (misinformation, hate speech) if providers gain authority to act without court orders, but face potential risks of over-censorship or reduced content diversity.

This may influence similar debates in Latin America and set precedent for balancing free speech with platform responsibility.
