What was the headline?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. The unveiling of draft principles for regulating social media. CGI.br put nine principles \u2014 sovereignty, information integrity, transparency and more \u2014 to public consultation, finalising ten principles that August. Principles first, legislation second.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Was it a milestone edition?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Yes \u2014 the 15th forum coincided with CGI.br&#39;s 30th anniversary. Three federal ministers opened it, and &#39;father of the Brazilian Internet&#39; Demi Getschko looked back on three decades of multistakeholder governance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Why does it matter abroad?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Brazil&#39;s consultative, principles-first route to platform regulation is a live alternative to top-down laws \u2014 and FIB15 fed directly into the UN IGF in Oslo and the WSIS+20 review that would decide the IGF&#39;s own future.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is Brazil IGF?
