Meta agreed to modify the design of Facebook and Instagram aimed at children and adolescents in the United States, in addition to paying a billion-dollar fine, to end a lawsuit filed by 47 American states. The agreement, considered historic, involved strategies that addict young users to the platforms.
The National Data Protection Authority (ANPD) in Brazil may demand similar adaptations to those assumed by Meta in the American agreement. Although the obligations established in the US do not apply in the country, the Brazilian agency has the power to determine equivalent changes based on national legislation.
The Digital ECA, a Brazilian regulatory framework, has points similar to the requirements of the agreement in the United States, which strengthens ANPD's position to pressure Meta for similar changes in Brazil.
The edition also highlights an interview with the new president of the STJ, Minister Luís Felipe Salomão, in addition to the increase in reports of electoral harassment in the workplace and actions for political gender-based violence.
