Media Regulation

VICTORY IN COURT: UOL WILL HAVE TO COMPENSATE ME! Little by little, people are being taught that accusing someone of a serious crime like this is not something protected by freedom of expression. The decision emphasized that Kotscho maintained a regular column on the portal, thus constituting an editorial relationship between the outlet and the professional, and, therefore, joint liability. The panel ordered compensation for moral damages in the amount of R$ 10,000 and the payment of court costs and attorneys' fees, set at 20% of the amount of the judgment.

According to public data from Meta itself, the company that owns Facebook and Instagram, the "Governo do Brasil" spent R$ 22 million on ads in the last 90 days. The amount is striking on its own. But it is even more striking because it occurs in an election year and precisely on the social networks that the government itself tries, at all costs, to censor under the pretext of "regulation". In light of that information, I filed a request for information with Secom to clarify which government bodies spent the money, on which campaigns, through which agencies, and using which targeting criteria. We will also file a Request for Oversight and Control so that the TCU audits these amounts. When it is to censor the networks, they say they are a threat. When it is to spend millions running propaganda on them, then they seem to work very well.

So it just keeps escalating. Specifically, we filed a motion regarding art. 8, §1, which addresses the following: when opening Disney+, HBO Max, Netflix, Deputy Sargento Gonçalves, it will be necessary to make available channels such as TV Câmara and TV Senado and a programming channel dedicated to health maintained by the public authorities.

This is outrageous, people! I pay for streaming to escape that nonsense that often has political content.

Therefore, the recommendation is "no." Thank you, Mr. President.

that the journalist has no right of reply, the rules are like that, and the committees insist a lot on this point, the committees of both campaigns, so you ask the question, the boss answers, you ask A, the boss answers Z, and you cannot retort.
