Dear
all,
(OMG!)
As
we have received so much support from the international
community, I'm happy to let you know that Marco Civil has just
been approved at the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies. Now we
need to approve it in the Senate.
This
is the final version of the text:
http://www.camara.gov.br/proposicoesWeb/prop_mostrarintegra?codteor=1238705&filename=Tramitacao-PL+2126/2011
Of course, the text is not perfect and we still have to
fight for changes on data retention. Nevertheless, its a
happy day for many of the Brazilian civil society
organizations mobilized for approving a bill of rights for
the Internet. A lot of very good people have been engaged
and doing an amazing job in Brasilia and on the social
networks, without giving up, despite of the never ending
vote-not vote soap opera. #FeelingProud :) OMG!
I would like to thank you for all the support received to
far, as international pressure have helped as well.
This is also a good step for NetMundial.
all the best
