A Chamber of Deputies discusses a bill to institute mandatory blocking of pornographic content on public computers connected to the internet. Author of the project, deputy Junior Bro (PL-CE) claims that the objective is to ensure safer browsing for children and teenagers.
Possible exceptions, such as in cases of investigations or behavioral research, should be included in subsequent regulations.
The proposal will go through the Communication and Constitution and Justice committees. As it is processed conclusively, it will not have to reach the plenary, unless there is an appeal for it.
“Pornography often shows scenarios of sexual violence, which can normalize aggressive behavior”, explains Mano.
The text includes the measure in the Marco Civil da Internet. The law already allows users to use a computer program on their terminal to control content considered inappropriate for their minor children.
