STF postpones resumption of ruling on 'uberization'

extra28 August 2026 at 11:48

The Supreme Federal Court postponed on Thursday (the 27th) the resumption of the ruling on the validity of Labor Court decisions that recognized employment relationships between app-based drivers and digital platforms, the so-called phenomenon of "uberization." The new date for the analysis of the case has not yet been defined.

The ruling was scheduled for Thursday's session but was not initiated because the Plenary gave priority to another case: the analysis of the Civil Rights Framework for the Internet (Law 12,965 of 2014), which deals with the storage of users' traffic data by internet service providers.

The "uberization" case involves two actions reported by Justices Edson Fachin and Alexandre de Moraes. The proceedings reached the Supreme Court through appeals filed by the platforms Rappi and Uber, which contest Labor Court decisions that recognized employment relationships with drivers and delivery workers.

CIA director's visit to Moscow raises speculation about NATO and peace negotiations

The unannounced visit by CIA Director John Ratcliffe to Moscow last Tuesday sparked intense diplomatic speculation, with Donald Trump confirming the presence of the US intelligence chief in the Russian capital. According to The Wall Street Journal, Ratcliffe is said to have delivered a preemptive warning to Moscow against any aggressive action against NATO countries, while also addressing tensions in the Middle East and Iran's influence. The White House downplayed the trip, but the convergence of sensitive topics indicates a moment of high strategic sensitivity. Moscow, through Dmitry Peskov, rejected reports of a NATO ultimatum, accusing European governments of hostility. Trump reinforced that he had maintained "good conversations" with Putin and assured that the Kremlin does not intend to attack territories covered by Article 5, while European intelligence services confirmed there are no signs of Russian offensive preparations against the EU or NATO.

Why Brazil doesn't have an atomic bomb, as proposed by Renan Santos?

Brazil has never developed an atomic bomb despite having advanced technologically in the nuclear sector. The main reason is the absence of a concrete external threat that would justify the enormous investment needed to create a nuclear weapons program. Additionally, the high costs of development, maintenance, and the international diplomatic consequences made the proposal politically unviable. The article also mentions Renan's position on the topic.
