Brazilian here. We still don't know if small things like comment sections and personal blogs will be under the new rules as our supreme court hasn't made any explicit exemption but their debates on the topic focused only on big techs. There is a chance an appeal will be filed to seek this kind of clarification.

As for buttons "I promisse I'm not Brazilian", that wouldn't really fly if the company in question has a lot of users in Brazil.

I suspect that we will see government enforcement only against big techs (especially Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube).

I genuinely doubt there will be many lawsuits targeting small websites because there isn't money to be made off them. So any litigation here will probably be restricted to personal revenge cases or something like it.

I really wish this had been settled in Congress with more cleat rules and language instead of decided by the courts.
