RIO DE JANEIRO — Brazil ’s national data protection authority determined on Tuesday that Meta , the parent company of Instagram and Facebook, cannot use data originating in the country to train its artificial intelligence.
Brazil is one of Meta's biggest markets. Facebook alone has around 102 million active users in the country, the agency said in a statement. The nation has a population of 203 million, according to the country’s 2022 census.A spokesperson for Meta said in a statement the company is “disappointed” and insists its method “complies with privacy laws and regulations in Brazil.”
In the U.S., where there’s no national law protecting online privacy, such training is already happening. Hye Jung Han, a Brazil-based researcher for the rights group, said in an email Tuesday that the regulator’s action “helps to protect children from worrying that their personal data, shared with friends and family on Meta’s platforms, might be used to inflict harm back on them in ways that are impossible to anticipate or guard against."
Compliance must be demonstrated by the company within five working days from the notification of the decision, and the agency established a daily fine of 50,000 reais for failure to do so.Prime Day doesn't kick off until July 16, but Canadians can already save big on TVs and smart monitors.Cyber insurance rates fall as businesses improve security, report says
