The project seeks to establish an overview of transparency in relation to content moderation on social media platforms in Brazil. More specifically, it aims to (1) map the existing transparency obligations applicable in the context of social media platforms operating in Brazil and (2) assess whether the application of these obligations has resulted in significant transparency in content moderation practices. 

To do this, we reviewed the transparency commitments of the ten most downloaded social media apps in Brazil, assessing the extent to which they are aligned with international standards. We then identified the main criticisms and suggestions made in Brazil to improve the existing framework, with a special focus on the issues raised in the context of elections and disinformation. We presented our preliminary findings at Rights Con 2023 with the aim of raising awareness and collecting feedback, and consolidated them into a final draft by September 30.
