Brazil's ANPD initiates compliance monitoring of 22 major digital platforms and AI tools

The Brazilian National Data Protection Authority (ANPD) has launched a monitoring operation targeting 22 digital platforms, app stores, and generative AI tools to ensure compliance with updated internet regulations and child protection statutes. This action marks a shift toward stricter enforcement of the Marco Civil da Internet and the Digital Statute of the Child and Adolescent. It remains uncertain whether this will lead to immediate sanctions or if the focus is currently on data gathering and regulatory alignment.
