Abstract

This article compares the European Union’s digital platform regulations with Brazil’s most‎ advanced legislative proposal, Bill No. 2630/2020, reflecting the influence of the European framework,‎ particularly the Digital Services Act (DSA). Through a documentary analysis, the article traces the ‎history of communication regulation in Brazil, highlighting the challenges faced in advancing the ‎issue. Comparing the Brazilian proposal to the DSA, both similarities, especially regarding platform ‎transparency and algorithm functioning, and differences are noted, such as the inclusion of remuneration ‎for journalistic content. The article also analyzes the “Brussels Effect”, examining how this concept applies ‎to the Brazilian context.‎
