Brazil digital sovereignty policy developments

Overview

The movement for digital sovereignty in Brazil has progressed from civil society advocacy to formal legislative proposals. The Rede pela Soberania Digital initiated this momentum by releasing a manifesto containing a decálogo of commitments. This document urges political candidates to prioritize digital rights, reject algorithmic discrimination, and invest in public digital infrastructures to reduce reliance on foreign corporations.

Following these advocacy efforts, legislative action has emerged in the Brazilian Congress. Federal Deputy Sâmia Bomfim introduced a Proposed Amendment to the Constitution (PEC) specifically focused on National Digital Sovereignty. The PEC seeks to increase oversight of big tech companies, mandate transparency for artificial intelligence and algorithms, and establish a regulatory body to manage strategic data and digital services. Concurrently, political discussions have surfaced regarding the governance of these policies, including potential roles for key figures in digital policy secretariats.
