Ethics

Following the successful public consultation process that led to the approval of the Brazilian Internet Civil Rights Framework, the Government of Brazil, on 28 January 2015, launched an online open platform to discuss issues arising from that framework requiring further regulation, including net neutrality, custody of access logs, access data for purposes of criminal investigations and privacy issues. The open platform will also enable interested sectors to comment on the draft law on the protection of personal data, which is currently under consideration by the Brazilian Government (SDGs 11, 16, and 17). The process relating to Public Debates on the regulation of the Brazilian Internet Civil Rights Framework and on the Draft Bill on Personal Data Protection uses two distinct web portals through which all interested parties can submit their comments and suggestions. Social networks such as Twitter and Facebook are used to promote wide participation. The main objective of such public debates is to use a democratic and innovative process of compiling inputs from different sources to draw up legal documents that take into account the legitimate concerns of different segments of society.
