For what? You know somewhere there is an ABIN employee vaguely wondering if
they should make certain things public. Then deciding that Rio de Janeiro
is preferable to Moscow. Eh its not as if ABIN had a great record of
obeying the previous set of laws.

And so they did sanction at NetMundial!

To read and/or give contributions to ongoing debates in NetMundial,
http://document.netmundial.br/introduction/

Governments have commented there too.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Internet rights approved in Brazil

[Oona Castro]

Fair enough, you're right. There is a long path yet ahead.  The government
is expecting to be able to sanction/sign it during
NetMundialmeeting and has invested a lot on
negotiations to make it real.

Let's wait and see how far it can go.

For those interested in regulation related matters, I'm attaching a draft
version in English made by Raquel Gatto from ISOC Brazil and shared by
Carolina Rossini, whom some of you might know.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Internet rights approved in Brazil

[Everton Zanella Alvarenga]

Humm let's wait until the bill become a *law*.

This is an important step, but we still need a lot of work here.

When our access to information law [1] were approved by the chamber of
deputies, its bill got stuck in the senate for a looong time. It was
really, really hard to have any civil society influence to have it
approved. I didn't believe when I saw it happening - as Spain, Brazil was
one of the last big democracies without an access to information law.

Now we have to analyse the senate situation and *if* it will be approved
with the actual configuration. It is possible the bill will have to pass on
several commissions and, if any lobbyist find its amable senator, this bill
can easily get stuck. And we are in the presidential elections year, thus
if eveything goes as usual, the law will likely be approved only next year.
And if the presidential situation changes (workers party go out of the
power, which is be very constrained with the world cup results, as
incredible it can be for a gringo), things can change a lot regarding the
actual political scenario.

[Wikimedia-l] Internet rights approved in Brazil

[Oona Castro]

Hello all!

Subject is not 100% related to Wikimedia, but definitely important for the
future of projects like ours.

Marco civil da Internet (the Brazilian internet civil rights bill) has just
been approved by the Brazilian
Congress.
Now the Senate still needs to approve it.

The bill has been recently supported
by
Sir Tim Berners-Lee.[1]

Back in 2007, several Brazilian civil society organizations started to
fight against bills which were about to be approved creating a penal law
over certain uses of internet.

This fight led the Brazilian government to build, together with other
Brazilian organizations, a request for comment/collaborative
platform[2] for the
creation of a civil rights bill for the internet. Contributions
were gathered together and a first draft was proposed for another round of
public comments on 2010.

A first draft was negotiated within the government in 2011. A lot of lobby
over the Congress was carried out especially against the articles about net
neutrality and internet service providers liability (both by
telecommunication companies and the intellectual property industries, but
mainly the former - they wanted all internet service providers to be
obliged to remove content under a simple notification claiming the content
should be removed. Internet civil rights activists claimed for the need of
a justice decision about that).

The case of NSA spying
Brazilmade
the government become fonder of the Marco Civil bill, fostering its
approval in the Congress.

Since the first draft of the bill, some aspects were lost, but the bill
remains important and mostly beneficial to internet rights in my opinion.
It's been a long process, with lots of threats to this initiative, but in
the end the balance seems good. Good the the freedom of expression and good
for net neutrality.

Best regards
Oona
