GDPR inspired laws are coming closer.
Isabel Carvalho, Rafael Loureiro, and Daniel
Crespo of Hogan Lovells write:
The Brazilian General Data Protection Law (“Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados” or “LGPD”), passed by Congress on 14 August 2018, will come into effect on 15 February 2020. The new data protection law significantly improves Brazil’s existing legal framework by regulating the use of personal data by the public and private sectors. Very similar to the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) implemented in the European Union, the LGPD imposes strict regulations on the collection, use, processing, and storage of electronic and physical personal data. In conjunction with the passing of the LGPD, the National Data Protection Authority will be created in order to adequately implement the new legislation.

Inside
Facebook’s Secret Rulebook for Global Political Speech
… The company, which makes about $5 billion in
profit per quarter, has to show that it is serious about removing
dangerous content. It must also continue to attract more users from
more countries and try to keep them on the site longer.
How can Facebook monitor billions of posts per day
in over 100 languages, all without disturbing the endless expansion
that is core to its business? The company’s solution: a network of
workers using a maze of PowerPoint
slides spelling out what’s forbidden.
… The closely held rules are extensive, and
they make the company a far more powerful arbiter of global speech
than has been publicly recognized or acknowledged by the company
itself, The New York Times has found.
The Times was provided with more than 1,400 pages
from the rulebooks by an employee who said he feared that the company
was exercising too
much power, with too little oversight — and making too many
mistakes.

Amazon's
rise forces laundry detergents to shrink
Tide and Seventh Generation have introduced
redesigned laundry detergents that are several pounds lighter by
cutting down on plastic in their packaging and using less water in
their formulas. Why? To please Amazon and other online stores:
Lighter packaging means retailers pay less to ship the detergent to
shopper's doorsteps, making each sale more profitable.
… The downsized detergents are a sign of
Amazon's growing influence. Companies that have designed products
for decades to stand out on store shelves are now being pressured by
online retailers to make their packaging lighter to cut down on
shipping costs, said Gary Liu, vice president of marketing at
Boomerang Commerce, which makes software for consumer goods
companies.
