A repercussão do PL2630/2020 e os possíveis impactos para as Fake News no Brasil

Abstract

PL2630/2020 (Brazilian Law on Freedom, Responsibility and Transparency on the Internet) was proposed by Senator Alessandro Vieira – who, at the time of the proposal, was a member of the Citizenship party – under the pretext of strengthening democracy and combating false content and crimes on the internet. In this context, the Project offers ways to prevent violations and how to report them, observing the broad defense and adversarial process to users who allegedly committed violations. This research, therefore, has a main objective to analyze the repercussion of PL 2630/2020. To this end, the following procedures will be adopted: relate information on the formulation of the PL; verify possible implications of the Project in the political and social context; and to compare divergent opinions on PL 2630/2020. In short, by way of conclusion, it was found that this Project continues to be the subject of intense debate, with divergent opinions about its effectiveness, its impact, and therefore there is a need for dialogues in a possible adoption.
