Direct Action of Unconstitutionality (ADI) No. 7999

Court decision

Federal Supreme Court (STF)

The action challenges the constitutionality of certain interpretations of Articles 9, paragraph 1, 16, sole paragraph, and 20 of the Minors’ Online Safety Law (ECA Digital). It is argued that the challenged provisions may be interpreted to permit the collection of biometric data for age verification purposes and to prohibit the use of loot boxes by children and adolescents, regardless of parental consent. According to the petitioner, such interpretations violate the constitutional protection of personal data, personality rights, parental authority, and the principle of free enterprise. Therefore, the petitioner requests that the Supreme Federal Court adopt an interpretation consistent with the Constitution that precludes the collection of biometric data and allows the use of loot boxes upon the prior and express authorization of parents or legal guardians.

Direct Action of Unconstitutionality (ADI) No. 7,981

Court decision

Federal Supreme Court (STF)

The action challenges the constitutionality of provisions of Decree No. 12,975/2026, which amended the regulatory framework of the Brazilian Internet Civil Rights Framework (Marco Civil da Internet) by creating an administrative liability regime for internet service providers, granting new supervisory and enforcement powers to the Brazilian Data Protection Agency (ANPD), authorizing the Office of the Attorney General of the Union (AGU) to request the removal of content, and imposing data retention and monitoring obligations. It is argued that the decree exceeds the President’s regulatory authority by creating obligations, violations, sanctions, and administrative powers without a statutory basis, while also infringing freedom of expression, privacy, due process, and the principle of legality.

July 1, 2026

The Justice-Rapporteur, Alexandre de Moraes, issued an order requesting information from the President of the Republic and the National Congress, subsequently referring the case to the Attorney General of the Union (AGU) and the Prosecutor General of the Republic (PGR) for their opinions.
