Ativistas de direitos digitais em todo o Brasil seguraram o fôlego ontem, enquanto a Comissão Parlamentar de Inquérito sobre Cibercrimes (CPICIBER) debateria se enviaria seu relatório à Câmara dos Deputados para tramitar e ser debatido pelas comissões temáticas. No final, a votação foi adiada e remarcada para terça-feira, 3 de maio. Um adiamento não corrige os problemas nas propostas da Comissão — mas pode mostrar uma percepção crescente da atenção negativa que o relatório está angariando junto a internautas no Brasil.

Digital rights activists across Brazil held their breath yesterday, as the country’s Parliamentary Commission on Cybercrime (CPICIBER) debated whether to send its report to the full lower house of Congress for committee assignment and debate. In the end, the vote was postponed, and rescheduled for Tuesday, May 3rd. A postponement does not fix the problems with the commission’s proposals — but it may show a growing realization of the negative attention the report is gathering from Brazil’s Internet users.
House of Representatives Agrees That 30 Years Is Long Enough, Pushes Much-Needed Email Privacy Reform Bill to the Senate
The U.S. House of Representatives passed the Email Privacy Act (H.R. 699) today, which would require the government to get a probable cause warrant from a judge before obtaining private communications and documents stored online with companies such as Google, Facebook, and Dropbox.

Confiamos as nossas informações mais sensíveis, privadas e pessoais às empresas que nos fornecem acceso à Internet. Coletivamente, essas empresas estão cientes das conversas online, dos comportamentos, e até das localizações de quase qualquer usuário da Internet. À medida que o público brasileiro vai conhecendo essa realidade, os usuários brasileiros da Internet ficam, com razão, preocupados com a questão da disposição das empresas em assumir uma posição a favor da privacidade e da proteção dos dados. É por isso que o InternetLab, um dos principais centros independentes de pesquisa de política de Internet no Brasil, avaliou as principais empresas brasileiras de telecomunicações, com o propósito de analisar seu compromisso com a privacidade do usuário em face de pedidos governamentais.

We entrust our most sensitive, private, and personal information to the companies which provide us access to the Internet. Collectively, these companies are privy to the online conversations, behavior, and even the location of almost every Internet user. As this reality increasingly penetrates the Brazilian public consciousness, Brazilian Internet users are justifiably concerned about which companies are willing to take a stand for their privacy and protection of personal data. That is why InternetLab, one of the leading independent research centers on Internet policy in Brazil, has evaluated key Brazilian telecommunications companies’ policies to assess their commitment to user privacy when the government comes calling for their users' personal data.
