Brazil is Leading Data Privacy On the Internet
Last month, on April 24, 2014, Brazilian President, Dilma Rosseuf signed into law certain statutes that contain privacy provisions and ensure network neutrality. These, protect companies from intermediary liability.
The President was quoted on her website, Dilma.com.br: “The internet you want is only possible in an environment of respect for human rights,” and “is especially privacy and freedom of expression.”
Dilma referred to this law as a very important milestone in Brazil’s history with the approval of a groundbreaking post-Snowden Bill.
