[Governance] Fake News Draft Bill - International Solidarity Letter

[Bruna Martins dos Santos via Governance]

Dear all,

Hope this email finds you well and apologize in advance for sending it on a
saturday.

But as some of you know, Brazil is back to discussing its Fake News Draft
Bill and the text should be voted on tuesday. While this version is somehow
different from the one we called attention to a few years ago, it is still
a text that could allow the country to advance a lot on setting proper
limits to the abuses of big tech companies and sets a good ground on
transparency and due process requisites and so on.

Some Civil Society organizations wrote an international solidarity Open
Letter titled *"**Protecting Against Harm: International Organizations
Stand in Solidarity with Brazil to Hold Big Tech Accountable" *and we would
very much welcome signatures on it. Our time for mobilizing more support
around this bill is rather sensitive due to the fact that some far right
movements - alongside big tech companies - have been spreading a lot of
lies about the text itself, buying ads online and targeting Internet users
all over the country in an attempt to block this regulation.

The Open letter can be read - and signed - here:

- and im also attaching the latest version of the Draft Bill for broader
knowledge (:

Best,
