Multas por Não Conformidade com Lei de Proteção de Menores (Digital ECA)

1 verified sources

Definition

Brazil's Digital ECA (Child and Adolescent Statute) requires platforms to authenticate user age, implement parental controls, and remove harmful content (sexual exploitation, violence, self-harm encouragement, deceptive ads, gambling). Non-compliance triggers government fines. Platforms that fail to shift from manual 'Are you over 18?' self-declaration to robust age verification face regulatory penalties.

Key Findings

  • Financial Impact: Up to R$ 50 million (USD $10 million) per violation; up to 10% of local revenue annually per company
  • Frequency: Per violation; can be assessed multiple times annually for different non-compliances (age verification failure, content removal delay, inadequate safeguards)
  • Root Cause: Delayed implementation of automated age verification; manual content moderation backlogs; insufficient integration of preventive safeguards; reliance on self-attestation

Why This Matters

Pitch: Social networking platforms in Brasil waste millions on manual content moderation and age verification. Automation of age verification systems and AI-driven content classification eliminates compliance violations.

Multas por Falha em Remover Conteúdo Ilegal (Decisão do STF - Artigo 19 MCI)

Fines for each violation of removal obligations; typical range R$ 50,000–R$ 5,000,000+ based on platform size and content type (hate speech, violence incitement carry higher penalties)

Custo Brasil em Conformidade de Moderação de Conteúdo (Custo Operacional de Implementação)

Estimated 20–40% of moderation operations budget redirected to compliance (typical: R$ 10–50 million annually for mid-to-large platforms in Brazil); 20–30 hours/month manual review rework per 100,000 active compliance cases

Perda de Capacidade: Gargalos em Moderação de Conteúdo e Verificação de Idade

Per-day delay in age verification: ~1–3% user churn per business day (50k–500k users in Brazil market); moderation queue delays: avg 3–5 days backlog = 5–15% risk of content violation fine (R$ 100k–R$ 5M per incident) if critical content not removed in time

Multas por Não Conformidade com Verificação de Idade (Digital ECA)

R$50,000,000 (statutory maximum per violation); typical fine range: 2–10% of Brazilian revenue (estimated R$5–50 million for major platforms)

Custo de Implementação de Sistemas de Verificação de Idade Certificados

R$2,000,000–R$8,000,000 per platform (estimated engineering: 300–600 hours @ R$500–1,000/hour; infrastructure and third-party services: R$500,000–2,000,000)

Gargalo Operacional na Verificação Manual de Idade e Ligação Parental

40–80 support hours/week per 1M minor users (estimated at R$50–100/hour = R$2,000–8,000/week or R$100,000–400,000/year per platform segment); lost revenue from churn: 2–5% of minor-user-generated revenue (estimated R$500,000–2,000,000/year for mid-tier platforms)
