Professor Ronaldo Lemos will participate in a live video chat in which he discusses recent developments in the Brazilian internet. Ronaldo helped to write the country’s proposed sweeping internet rights law, Marco Civil da Internet, which may be voted on soon. In the meantime, the government has been making headlines by detaining the head of Google Brazil until the company agreed to remove politically critical videos from YouTube. What is going on in Brazil, and what can people in the United States learn from the country’s experience with crafting internet policy?
