Brazil: Bill on protection of children and adolescents in digital environments (PL 2628/2022) including design requirements was passed by Chamber of Deputies

On 20 August 2025, the Chamber of Deputies approved the Bill on the protection of children and adolescents in digital environments (PL 2628/2022). The Bill requires providers of digital products and services directed at or accessible to children to incorporate safety and well-being considerations into their design. They must conduct risk management, ensure age-appropriate content, prevent access to illegal or manifestly inappropriate material, avoid compulsive use through default settings, and clearly display the recommended age group for each service. The Bill also establishes parental supervision rights. Providers must give parents, guardians and children accessible information about risks, security and privacy measures. They are required to offer easy-to-use parental supervision tools that allow account and privacy management, restriction of purchases, monitoring of contacts and usage time, and activation or deactivation of safeguards, with all options available in Portuguese. Finally, products and services used for child monitoring must include secure mechanisms to ensure the integrity and protection of images, sounds and other information collected and transmitted to parents or guardians.
