A new law approved last Thursday by the Brazilian Congress allows political parties and candidates to force social media companies to remove any content they feel is defamatory or offensive and posted by an anonymous account. Social media companies would need to provide the full name and identification numbers, including social security number, in order to leave the comment online. The new law was passed late in the Congressional session as part of rules for next year\u2019s general elections \u2013 despite heavy resistance from both privacy advocates and Brazilian media.<\/p>\n<p>Defending the new law which he penned, Brazilian Congressman \u00c1ureo of Brazil\u2019s Solidariedade party said he proposed the rule to bring transparency to online speech. He said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cFreedom of expression is guaranteed, but it cannot be anonymous.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>One doesn\u2019t need to look far to see the potential chilling effects this will have on free speech. Another question is whether or not social media platforms will even comply with Brazilian orders.

They don\u2019t like that politicians can bypass the judicial process to stifly freedom of expression. The associations said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cBrazil\u2019s internet legal framework clearly states that only through a judicial order it is possible to force the withdrawal of online content.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Carlos Affonso Souza, director at the Institute of Technology and Society, also voiced his concern about the change \u2013 telling\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/uk-brazil-politics-censorship\/brazil-congress-passes-law-restricting-online-criticism-of-candidates-idUKKBN1CB02S?edition-redirect=uk\">Reuters<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThat piece of legislation will transform candidates and parties into electoral judges, with powers to take out of the web any content they consider offensive to them.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Featured image from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/rhinman\/3757974502\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rachel Hinman<\/a> via <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/2.0\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CC 2.0<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Freedom of expression is not doing well in Brazil.
