The Brazilian government is studying whether to regulate Internet platforms with content that earns revenue such as advertising, its secretary for digital policies, Joao Brant, said on Friday.
The idea would be for a regulator to hold such platforms, not consumers, accountable for monetized content, Brant told Reuters.
Brant said President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's government also intends to make companies responsible for stopping misinformation, hate speech and other crimes on their social media platforms. Platforms would not be held responsible for content individually, but for how diligent they are in protecting the "digital environment," he said in an interview.
"What the body would do is monitor whether the platforms are fulfilling their obligations well, and not deal with individual content published by users. That must be up to the courts," he said.Any proposal would require changes to the regulatory framework in the 2014 law known as the "Marco Civil" that governs the Internet in Brazil and protects the rights of users.
For Brant, the current framework "generates an incentive for platforms not to take care of the public space of debate."

Brazilian researchers find 'terrifying' plastic rocks on remote islandThe geology of Brazil's volcanic Trindade Island has fascinated scientists for years, but the discovery of rocks made from plastic debris in this remote turtle refuge is sparking alarm. Melted plastic has become intertwined with rocks on the island, located 1,140 km (708 miles) from the southeastern state of Espirito Santo, which researchers say is evidence of humans' growing influence over the earth's geological cycles.
