Brazilian here. Our law is incompatible with the Internet as we know it.
Below is a brief excerpt from our 1989 Constitution, translated by myself:
Art. 5º Todos são iguais perante a lei, sem distinção de qualquer natureza, garantindo-se aos brasileiros e aos estrangeiros residentes no País a inviolabilidade do direito à vida, à liberdade, à igualdade, à segurança e à propriedade, nos termos seguintes:
(All men are equal by the law, without any distinction, guaranteed to Brazilians and foreigners living on the Country the inviolable right to life, freedom, equality, safety, property, on the following terms:)
(...)
IV - é livre a manifestação do pensamento, sendo vedado o anonimato;
(The freedom of speech/thinking is allowed, but anonymity is not)
(...)
- matheusmoreira 6y agoYes. Courts all over the world are discovering and dealing with the difficulties of imposing their own nation's laws on an international communications network. Currently it is relatively easy to become anonymous on the internet and avoid the consequences of free speech, especially since brazilian law enforcement is not as sophisticated as organizations such as the FBI when it comes to cyber crime investigation. The end result will be the regionalization of the internet. Instead of one global network, we'll have several national or regional networks. This will be possible because internet providers are centralized services which are easily controlled by the governments.
