💨 Abstract
Brazil's Supreme Court ruled 8-3 to make social media platforms legally responsible for user-generated content. Tech giants like Google, Meta, and TikTok must now actively monitor and remove posts involving hate speech, racism, and violence. This move follows two cases where companies failed to act against illicit content. Critics warn it could threaten free speech, while supporters argue it strengthens existing laws. The ruling aligns Brazil closer to the EU's regulatory approach for big tech.
