Brazil's “Fake News bill” is about to be approved and contains serious threats to privacy, security, freedom of expression, innovation and users' ability to use social networks #NaoVotaPLFakeNews iapp.org/news/a/controv… (1/4)
@EFF It mandates all users to provide proof of their identity to social networks through ID or passport and cell phone numbers. This provision would deprive users of privacy protections and can hinder user’s access to the applications they use to share, learn, and interact. (2/4)
@EFF The bill also mandates social networks to retain logs of forwarded messages. Such data is more sensitive than most governments want to admit and can be misused for a variety of purposes. (3/4)
@EFF Another provision forces any application that allow social interaction to store user data in a database in Brazil. Data localization rules can make data especially vulnerable to security threats and impose serious barriers to international trade and e-commerce. (4/4)
