I'm not sure how you would translate sistemas operacionais de terminais which is covered by the law, but to me it reads "terminal operating systems". If a terminal has its own OS, it is probably not "dumb" in any meaningful sense, and no one really uses terminals anyway except for retro enthusiasts. Even people still using, like, VM/MVS on a mainframe are connecting via a PC running a 3270 emulator.

Lei № 12.965 (2014) defines a terminal (which applies in Lei 15.211) as any internet-connected computer or device.

Yes, you are correct. It was meant as "end user OSs", and indeed some requirements are on the end user OS.

However, it is still not the same as California's law since it only describes the provision of "age bracket" and only on particular circumstances. In practice, this requirement will likely be limited to certain platforms due to technical feasibility. Proportionality and "technically secure measurements" are mentioned in the law, so there is no point requiring this from a desktop computer where someone can just type any birth year.

It is likely most of the responsibility will fall on digital platforms:

I read it as end user OS.
