Regulation on digital platformsa contribution to the analysis of the national debate in the context of a global challenge

Resumo

This study investigated the public debate on Twitter about the regulation of digital platforms on social networks. There were 1.14 million mentions to the topic between February 1 and April 6, 2022. Our goal was to understand how this topic has been approached on social networks within the public debate in general and within the debate among congress representatives, based on Twitter posts analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. The analyzes indicated that there is a difference in focus in each of the groups observed, that this debate still has a low level of repercussion compared to other topics investigated by FGV DAPP, and that there is a lack of clarity in both groups about what it means to regulate platforms or social networks. In Brazil, the discussion on the networks is more centered on topics such as censorship, diverging from the literature about this topic, which focuses more on the accountability of digital platforms.
