Posted date/time:
Brazil Institute
The significance of understanding the digital regulation landscapes in the US and Brazil extends beyond merely mapping legal frameworks; it鈥檚 about comprehending their profound impact on the economic and social spheres of digital platforms in these countries. This insight forms the core of the Brazil Institute鈥檚 latest report, 鈥淐rossroads of Innovation and Liability,鈥 which examines the complexities of internet platform liability laws. The report unveils the approaches both countries adopt by comparing the US鈥榮 Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act with Brazil鈥檚 Article 19 of the Legal Internet Framework, which stipulates that content can only be removed under a court order. These distinctions not only shape legal responsibilities but also influence digital platforms鈥 economic landscape and societal roles. The publication draws recommendations for digital policies that are in sync with the pace of technological advancement, aiming to bolster economic growth and innovation while safeguarding the rights and interests of citizens.
