"O Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) deve julgar a partir desta quarta-feira (4) 12 recursos apresentados por big techs e entidades do setor de tecnologia que pedem esclarecimentos e ajustes na decisão que ampliou a responsabilidade das plataformas pelo conteúdo que publicam."
In June 2025, by 8 votes to 3, the STF declared the partial unconstitutionality of article 19 of the Internet Civil Framework, which established that platforms could only be held liable for third-party content after specific court orders. The new thesis allows liability for social networks when directly notified by victims about illegal content and failing to remove posts. ?

"O Facebook pede que o Supremo deixe expresso que a decisão só vai produzir efeitos para fatos que ocorram após o encerramento do julgamento no Tribunal e que as empresas tenham um prazo de seis meses para a implementar todas as obrigações."
The original decision established that platforms must immediately remove content considered serious crimes — such as anti-democratic acts, terrorism, incitement to suicide and discrimination — and may be held liable for "systemic failure" in these cases. For crimes against honor, the requirement for prior court orders remains, except for cases of repeated posts already considered illegal by the courts. ✓
