Great victory of every individual and organization that participated in this process since the public consultation! And we share this victory with all our friends around the world who supported this fight, who wrote texts, analysis and who gave us space to talk about Marco Civil and keep it on the agenda all though the years. THANK YOU!

This was a huge a very important chapter of the battle. Now comes the Senate! :)

Dear people, very good news from Brazil: after a nearly four-year battle, "Marco Civil da Internet" (Internet's Civil Rights Framework) was approved by the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies.

Our dear ex-minister of Culture and staunch militant for the cause, Gilberto Gil, just posted on twitter:

"Vencemos! O #MarcoCivil foi aprovado!! Por uma rede neutralizada,liberdade de expressão e proteção à privacidade!"

"We won! #MarcoCivil has been approved!! For net neutrality, freedom of expression and protection of privacy!"

I am happy!

fraternal regards
