What was new this time?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. The way the event itself was built: instead of organiser-set tracks, 78 proposals came from the community and 21 workshops were selected \u2014 the same bottom-up method as the UN IGF.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. What was the most serious topic?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Surging cyberattacks \u2014 reports to Brazil&#39;s CERT rose 138% in a year, and defence, technical and academic experts insisted no one can defend in isolation. A public hearing questioning the future of CGI.br itself added extra tension.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Why should I care?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. The community-driven national IGF format has been copied widely, and the data-protection debates here fed directly into Brazil&#39;s LGPD, which now binds any company handling Brazilian users&#39; data.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is Brazil IGF?
