Brazil just made history! 🇧🇷 It's now the first country in Latin America to pass a sweeping digital safety law aimed at protecting children and teens online. From TikTok to gaming platforms, web giants will have to step up: from age verification to content moderation, the rules are strict—and the penalties for noncompliance are heavy.
Under the new legislation, platforms must:
- Verify users' ages to keep minors safe 👍
- Remove harmful or inappropriate content within hours ⏱️
- Set up clear reporting channels for parents and teens 📢
Companies that ignore these requirements could face sizeable fines, making digital spaces safer playgrounds for the next generation. 🎮
Activists in Rio are calling this law a game-changer for child protection online.
