Platform Regulation \u2014 PL 2630 Stalls, CGI.br Consults<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sessions<\/strong>: Main session on the risks and challenges of regulating digital platforms (1 June)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>All sectors were urged to join CGI.br&#39;s public consultation on platform regulation (41 questions on dialogos.cgi.br, launched 25 April, closing 26 June), moderated by Henrique Faulhaber [3]<\/li>\n<li>Lawyer Fl\u00e1via Lef\u00e8vre warned that PL 2630&#39;s content-moderation provisions threatened free expression and could end up further empowering the platforms themselves [3]<\/li>\n<li>Federal secretary Jo\u00e3o Brant argued for a dedicated regulatory body overseeing platforms rather than adjudicating individual content, while FGV&#39;s Yasmin Curzi pressed for transparency duties and algorithm audits [3]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>2. Electoral Disinformation \u2014 Lessons from the 2022 Election<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sessions<\/strong>: Sessions on elections and disinformation<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&quot;You cannot defeat disinformation outright, but I believe the networked administrative programme has begun to produce a certain inoculation in the population&quot;<br \/>\n\u2014 <strong>Aline Os\u00f3rio (Superior Electoral Court \/ constitutional law professor)<\/strong> [4]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li>After the disinformation-soaked 2022 election and the 8 January 2023 storming of Congress, panellists audited the electoral court&#39;s counter-disinformation programme [4]<\/li>\n<li>Jo\u00e3o Guilherme Bastos warned that amendments granting parliamentarians immunity would &#39;create an incentive for those people&#39; to abuse it [4]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>3. AI Regulation \u2014 Questioning the &#39;Adoption-first&#39; Strategy<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sessions<\/strong>: AI sessions<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mozilla Foundation researcher Tarc\u00edzio Silva criticised Brazil&#39;s AI strategy for leaning on &#39;preparing Brazilians to adopt and use&#39; the technology while underweighting risks and rights [4]<\/li>\n<li>At the first FIB of the ChatGPT era, algorithmic discrimination and labour impacts were debated alongside the draft AI bill (PL 2338) [4]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>4. Political Violence against Women \u2014 &#39;Not a Dark Street&#39;<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sessions<\/strong>: Sessions on gender and online violence<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&quot;May the Internet not be that dark street in women&#39;s lives&quot;<br \/>\n\u2014 <strong>Brisa Bracchi (Natal city councillor)<\/strong> [4]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li>First-person testimony documented how online attacks and threats push women out of political life [4]<\/li>\n<li>Slow platform responses to reports and the machinery of gendered disinformation were called out [4]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>5. First FIB beyond a State Capital \u2014 A University&#39;s Bid<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sessions<\/strong>: Overall programme<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Uberl\u00e2ndia won the forum through a hosting bid by UFU&#39;s human-rights laboratory (LabDH) \u2014 the first non-capital city ever to stage the FIB [1][2][5]<\/li>\n<li>Science and Technology Minister Luciana Santos attended; around 400 participants were expected in hybrid format, with 27 workshops selected from 96 proposals [1][2][5]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Three-Minute Short Talk \u2014 Your Questions Answered<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Q. What dominated the agenda?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Platform regulation. With the &#39;fake news bill&#39; stalled in Congress, CGI.br had just opened a 41-question public consultation \u2014 moving the debate from whether to regulate to writing the rules collectively.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Why was the venue notable?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. It was the first FIB outside a state capital. The Federal University of Uberl\u00e2ndia bid to host it, pushing governance debate into Brazil&#39;s interior.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Why does it matter abroad?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Designing platform and AI regulation at the same time, under disinformation pressure, is exactly the puzzle most democracies faced \u2014 and Brazil tried to solve it by multistakeholder consultation.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is Brazil IGF?
