[HIGHLIGHTS] In Brazil, a bill bristles the "Big Tech"

Bill 2.630 was introduced in 2020 in the Senate, to deal with the avalanche of false information on the internet. It is inspired by the Digital Services Act (DSA) in force in the European Union, which imposes a long list of rules on social networks and search engines.

Critics of the bill have long spoken of the risk of creating a "Ministry of Truth," as in George Orwell's novel "1984" The plenary vote in the Chamber of Deputies, scheduled for early last week, was postponed indefinitely.
