In 2014, after years of debate, Brazil's Congress ratified Law 12.965/2014, the Internet Civil Framework. This law required social media companies to delete posts and deplatform users who broke Brazilian laws. However, it placed the burden on Brazilian courts to identify the posts and accounts.

Is this meant to apply to all "users" of the platform or only Brazilian Citizens?

If it applies to Brazilian Citizens, that's all fine and good. But if I break brazilian law by criticizing their government, is lemmy.ml expected to "deplatform" and "censor" me?
