Abstract

The fake news bill's progress through Congress has been controversial, leading to an intense debate on social media about the bill's enactment.  The main objective of this paper is to understand how lobbying occurred in this bill and what its consequences were, focusing the analysis on news published in the press. As an initial hypothesis, knowing the weight of the campaigns run by the big techs, coupled with the wide coverage of the national press on the subject, it is possible to see that Bill 2.630/2020 has been undergoing restrictive modifications and unjustified delays due to the strong lobbying practiced by these pressure groups. The method to be used in this work is the case study, while the research technique will be direct and indirect bibliography.
