What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Chamber of Deputies is discussing a bill that would allow the antitrust agency Cade to impose special competition rules on large online platforms. The legislation, which amends the 2011 competition law, would create a Digital Markets Superintendence inside Cade and a process for designating companies of systemic relevance in digital markets. The original text from the Executive set revenue thresholds for designation at R$50 billion worldwide or R$5 billion in Brazil.
