- Case Summary
The 10th Federal Court in Minas Gerais, Brazil, pursuant to article 19 of the Brazilian Internet “Bill of Rights” (Marco Civil da Internet), ruled that Google is under no legal obligation to preemptively monitor or restrict advertising videos targeted to children, nor does it have a duty to add warnings or revise its community standards. Concerned about the negative effects advertising can have on children, The Federal Public Attorney’s Office filed a civil class action lawsuit against Google Brasil Internet Ltda. and the National Council for the Rights of Children (CONANDA), requesting: (i) the company provide warnings regarding advertisements aimed at children and tools for reporting such content to the platform; and (ii) the Council to establish administrative sanctions for content producers advertising to children. The Court further found that the Council has no legal authority to impose administrative sanctions.
