Brazil’s Supreme Court (STF) proclaimed, on June 17, 2026, the final precedent arising from the appeals (embargos de declara\u00e7\u00e3o<\/em>) filed against the ruling that had declared Article 19 of the Brazilian Internet Civil Rights Framework (Marco Civil da Internet<\/em>) partially unconstitutional (General Repercussion REs 1,037,396 and 1,057,258). The Court partially granted the appeals, introduced relevant adjustments to the prior precedent, and unanimously declared immediate res judicata, regardless of the publication of the written judgment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The precedent establishes two content removal regimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the first, applicable to crimes and unlawful acts in general, unjustified inaction following extrajudicial notice triggers joint and several liability of the provider alongside the author of the content. Joint and several liability, expressly included in the new wording, directly expands platform exposure. The precedent introduces, however, a relevant safeguard: liability is excluded if the provider demonstrates reasonable doubt as to the unlawfulness of the content, following diligent and qualified review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the second, applicable to serious crimes in mass circulation, including anti-democratic acts, terrorism, incitement to suicide, crimes against women, child pornography, and human trafficking, takedown must be immediate and does not depend on prior notice, with liability arising from systemic failure, unless the provider demonstrates diligent action within a reasonable timeframe. This regime also introduces the possibility of a provisional injunction to prevent removal of the content, which may be sought by the provider or by the person responsible for the publication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The precedent also replaces the presumption of “liability” for advertisements and paid boosting with a “relative presumption of fault,” with a terminological adjustment in the description of artificial distribution mechanisms. Obligations relating to self-regulation, user service channels, and legal representation in Brazil were maintained. The call to the legislature was preserved, with the express addition of the regulatory attribution of the Executive Branch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The temporal scope of the ruling was set with a specific reference date, producing ex nunc effects from August 5, 2025, with the exception of continuing or permanent acts and final judgments already rendered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the new precedent establishes a 60-day period, counted from the publication of the appeals ruling minutes, for the implementation of structural obligations relating to the duty of care regarding the mass circulation of serious unlawful content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final wording of the precedent has been published and its interpretation should be read in conjunction with Decrees 12,975 and 12,976 of 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
