Good article from EFF that explains the most recent juridical absurd in
Brazil: the arrest of the president of Google. Contradictory decisions
concerning the liability of intermediaries are common place in our
Judiciary. Let's hope Marco Civil is voted in Congress soon, despite the
lobby against it by telcos, especially because of its net neutrality
provision. These companies, which have managed to influence the government
through the Ministry of Communications, have successfully postponed the
examination of the Bill for after the election period.
