Brazilian here, the situation around PL 2630 (aka the Fake News bill) is a huge mess.

We absolutely need more oversight over big tech and we had had real violence and threats tied to online radicalisation (like all the death threats to our justices, that time Sara Winter fired fireworks at the supreme court building, and the Jan 8th riots) so something has to be done but our Congress is to slow to lead the charge so we end up having to delegate rule making powers to specialized bodies but this time everyone is afraid of how this new internet [something] board will act as it's brand new and unpredictable.

As for why Google and others are stonewalling things, the answer is a mix of money and ideology. Many of those big tech companies come from the US and their approach to freedom of speech is very very different ours so what we see as business as usual they see as an attack on free speech. On the money part, complying with the new law will be very expensive and nobody likes extra costs.

Brazilian here and many if not most of us value freedom of speech and don't see this as business as usual.
