Discussion gathers experts to debate STF judgment on the responsibility of digital platforms
Decision may change the legal model of liability for third-party content in Brazil
FGV Direito SP, through the Research Center in Competition, Public Policy, Innovation and Technology (Comppit) and within the context of the Forum on Competition in Digital Markets project, hosted on April 25 the meeting 'Responsibility of digital platforms: article 19 in the STF.'
The debate brought together experts from various institutions to analyze the potential impacts of the STF's judgment on the constitutionality of article 19 of the Internet Civil Rights Framework Law (Law 12.965/2014), currently suspended in the STF after a request for views by minister André Mendonça.
"It was an opportunity to reflect on the future paths of the Brazilian internet and the possibilities arising from the STF's judgment," explains Caio Mario da Silva Pereira Neto, professor at FGV Rio Law and coordinator of Comppit.
Participants in the event included representatives from IDP, USP, CEPI/FGV, Insper, Cade, and the law firm VMCA. The discussion addressed the risks and opportunities of a possible change in the current model, which conditions the liability of platforms to a prior judicial decision.
