[governance] Brazil, from heaven to hell on Internet freedom

[João Carlos R. Caribé]

"A new bill says it will protect victims of honor crimes but will also shield politicians from criticism"

http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/01/12/opinion/brazils-digital-backlash.html

"The ruling was not entirely out of the blue. Brazil’s Congress has been considering legislation that would roll back key provisions of the country’s freshly minted digital bill of rights, known as the Marco Civil da Internet, which was passed in 2014. The new proposal is expected to make it easier for prosecutors to access citizens’ personal information without the nuisance of having to obtain a court order."
