A big issue here would be defining social media.

Are forums social media? What about reddit? What about YouTube?

I think what we really need is a ban on algorithmic recommendations that seek to encourage engagement or total time spent on the app.

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.

assuming that the typo didn't lead to an invalid/unregistered key, you will see the recipient's bank, full name and masked CPF number in the confirmation screen.

I really dislike the lack of a more anonymous way to transfer money but given how prevalent scams are here I feel like there was no better option.

Also, before PIX bank transfers required a person's full name, full CPF number, full account and branch numbers so arguably PIX is helping to improve privacy a little bit.

However the big issue is when people register their phone numbers as PIX keys because it means strangers can easily get full names from phone numbers.

I guess that's because pretty much nobody in Brazil knows what an IBAN is

One explanation I've heard is that companies don't extract the same value from women as they do from men because society's sexism causes managers and peers to assign "low value tasks" disproportionately to women even when they have the same job description as their male counterparts.

I think that the commentor meant accents as in regional dialects.

Skill issue.

They could've easily used Times New Roman like their teachers probably instructed them. /hj

Why can't we just mandate people to send a copy of every publication to an UN Media Preservation Library and use something like redundant LTO tapes + Piql film to make sure stuff is never lost?

Yes it's expensive but if we divide those expense across 8 billion people out becomes affordable.

I agree that as a society we should absolutely not judge people as being any worse simply because there are naked or sexual pics or vids of them floating around.

In fact I would go further and just ban discrimination on sexuality and/or availability of sexual material of someone. This is specially important when it comes to employment and housing discrimination.

However, laws aren't magic bullets and even it such a law were to be 100% followed, the creation of realistic fake sexual material of someone is definitely a serious violation of privacy and intimacy and thus people who make such materials ought be punished as for the violation of such fundamental rights.

This is to say, punishment of fake nude creators should be irrespective of whether or not they caused emotional distress.

In short, I think most Brazilians trust technology more than they trust their fellow Brazilians.

We have a long history of lack of rule of law and of local authorities getting away with some pretty despicable shit. So, the less they can interfere with elections, the better off we are.

And pulling off a major fraud scheme with our voting machines is petty damn difficult as their software is loaded and sealed months before the election and all political parties can send representatives to observe the processes and to reqd the source code.

I do however wish that the source code were fully open for anyone to read. But I'm afraid of how much this transparency will be abused by disinformation campaigns.

Brazilian computer science student here.

Electronic voting is a good idea here because it raises the "barrier to commit fraud".

Basically, back when we ran our elections on paper, there was a lot of fraud as it's pretty easy to pull off fraud schemes.

With electronic voting, the system is so complex that almost no one can pull off a fraud scheme with two major expectations: voter intimidation and voter impersonation.

Although even that last one is getting tougher as we now scan peoples' fingerprints. The poll worker can manually override the system but this will be recorded and they will be in hot waters of they override too much.

Yes, in theory non-electronic elections are more secure, but in practice it's more complicated as we are dealing with a country with a horrible history at implementing rule of law and we have a significant amount of local authoritarian leaders (e.g. drug lords) that would definitely make it near impossible to run paper elections fairly.

I would do it differently: I would ban remote attestation on all general-purpose electronic devices and for all devices that are meant to be part of the home and run third party software.

So computers, phones, and game consoles cannot have remote attestation but home security systems, ATMs, e-Readers, medical devices, water/electricity usage meters can do remote attestation.

Where is the petition or letter we can sign to bring attention to this issue?

I think that the gov absolutely should do it but I also believe that it should allow people to configure their @something.gov email addresses as redirects so as to minimize the amount of information stored on gov servers.
