Brazil has introduced a new child-protection law that changes how VPNs and other privacy tools are treated in criminal cases. Using a VPN remains legal in Brazil but using a VPN or other tool to hide an IP address while committing certain crimes against children is now an aggravating factor that can lead to a hard sentence. The law also gives police and prosecutors more power to access connection and registration data in urgent cases involving a child’s life and can obtain the information without a prior court order Brazilian officials are also pushing for a Discord ban after the death of a 13-year-old girl during a livestream, the Police asked for Discord to be suspended, but a judge rejected the request. (Apparently this happened first on instagram)
