PL N° 2.630, Platform regulation, Social media, Disinformation, Informational sovereigntyAbstract
It situates the discussion of the Law Project No 2.630 (Fake News Law Project). It analyses the debates on the regulation of platforms, from the perspective of the human rights, taking as a parameter the dichotomies between local or national aspects, in contrast to global, or transnational intentions. It discusses the strategic validity of “geo-blocking” as a solution, making the debate oscillate between maintaining freedom of expression or limiting it, through the removal or complete exclusion of content. It discusses the effectiveness of laws to moderate the activity of platforms, such as payment for the journalistic activity, which has led platforms to block journalistic productions in their environments.
