No. 270310
Minister Alexandre de Moraes, of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), decided today (12) to open an inquiry to investigate the conduct of leaders of Google and Telegram in relation to the bill to combat disinformation on social networks (PL 2.630/2020 ).
The investigation request was made yesterday (11) by the Attorney General's Office (PGR). The measure was taken after the President of the Chamber of Deputies, Arthur Lira (PP-AL), triggered the prosecution and requested the investigation. For Lira, social networks have taken "abusive and forceful" action against the project, which is being processed in the House.
According to Moraes' decision, the Federal Police (PF) will have 60 days to conduct investigations.
According to the president of the Chamber, the companies that operate the social networks use a "disinformation campaign" and cause the overload in the information technology systems of the Chamber by encouraging users to put pressure on the deputies through a link that refers to the House's portal in the Internet.
On Wednesday (10), Moraes ordered Telegram to delete a message sent to platform users against the approval of the bill.
In the mass message released on Tuesday, Telegram Brasil alleges that the bill represents "an attack on democracy". According to the platform, the PL “grant censorship powers” to the federal government and create a permanent surveillance system that “will kill the modern Internet”, if the PL is approved by the National Congress.
Moraes wrote in the decision that the inquiry will investigate the directors who participated in the "abusive campaign" against the project.
"I grant the required steps and determine the identification and hearing of those represented - all directors and other managers of Google Brasil and Telegram Brasil who have participated in the abusive campaign against Bill n. 2.630/2020", he decided.
