“Empty backpacks” campaign in front of Congress remembers children killed in schools and supports Fake News PL

The Avaaz campaign supports and calls for the approval of PL 2630/2020, which faces pressure from Big Techs and far-right politicians.

The tribute takes place on the day scheduled for voting on Bill 2630, which became known as the PL from Fake News, which, among other measures, makes the dissemination of false news on the internet a crime.

Parliamentarians against the government, Bolsonaro influencers and large technology companies that use algorithms to define what you see on the internet are carrying out an intense campaign against the text.⤵️

Artists, influencers, journalists repudiate the campaign Google and social networks against Fake News PL

The browser Google in Brazil, from Sunday (1st) until the early afternoon of this Monday (2nd), an intense campaign was maintained against the Fake News Bill (PL 2630/20) just below the search tab. After three years of processing in the National Congress, the vote on the PL is scheduled for this Tuesday. To counter the disinformation campaign that Big Techs like Google, Twitter, Facebook and Youtube are carrying out, artists, influencers and journalists denounce acts of censorship and lies about the text on their own social networks.

A survey commissioned by Avaaz showed that 93,7% of respondents believe that social networks are NOT safe for children and adolescents and 75% understand that the lack of regulation of social networks contributed to recent cases of violence in Brazilian schools.

The Fake News Bill has been widely discussed in the last 3 years, and received massive support from artists and influencers who have been harmed by the lack of remuneration and copyrights for their productions and musical works. (CNN)
