STF Orders 60‑Day Transition for Big Techs While Finalizing Platform‑liability Rules

The court’s temporary deadline gives companies time to adapt as justices complete votes that refine when platforms must remove illegal user content.

Julgamento de recursos contra ampliação da responsabilização das big techs será retomado pelo STF na próxima semana.
STF analisa 12 recursos que questionam a decisão que ampliou a responsabilização das redes sociais por conteúdos de terceiros.
Dino defendeu a responsabilização de big techs e disse que a liberdade não pode servir de justificativa para práticas prejudiciais.

Overview

  • Relator Dias Toffoli proposed textual changes and a 60‑day adaptation period during plenary debate on June 10–11, and the session was suspended with several votes still outstanding.
  • The court’s framework keeps extrajudicial notices as a route to remove content and replaces absolute immunity with a rebuttable presumption of fault that platforms can overcome by showing diligent action.
  • The STF singled out categories that trigger faster removal duties, including acts antidemocratic, terrorism, child sexual exploitation, inducement to suicide, discrimination, and trafficking in persons.
  • Toffoli and other ministers narrowed some obligations by exempting small or noncommercial ‘neutral’ providers from full duties, limiting the duty of care to large services and debating the need for in‑country representatives.
  • The ruling already shapes policy: May 2026 presidential decrees mirror the court’s approach, and stakeholders warn the rules could force faster takedowns, prompt new transparency reporting, and reshape moderation during election cycles.
