4. Meta's Representative Appeared at Brazilian Congressional Hearings
Brazil's Digital ECA (PL 2628/2022, enacted as Lei 15.325/2025) takes effect March 17, 2026. Compliance burden falls on platforms directly. Self-declaration banned for age verification. Parental consent required for minors under 16. Fines up to 10% of Brazilian revenue.
I queried the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies open data API (dadosabertos.camara.leg.br).
Five public hearings across the Senate and Chamber. Tais Niffinegger, Meta's "Manager of Public Policy for Safety and Well-being," appeared at two:
Date Body Other Platforms Present
May 15, 2024 Senate CCDD Google, YouTube, TikTok
June 11, 2025 Chamber CCOM Google
The Chamber hearing where Meta appeared was framed as "digital education, parental controls and inclusion." Softest framing of the five. The bill's rapporteur, Dep. Jadyel Alencar, personally invited Niffinegger (REQ 9/2025). Deputies Marangoni and Cleber Verde filed requests to add Google and the Entertainment Software Association; their justification language mirrors industry talking points.
The bill passed. Industry lobbying stripped the loot box ban from the Chamber version. The Senate put it back in the final text.
