According to the senator, the committee will take on the significant task of providing solutions to society for the wave of false news on social media, which affect countless families.

“We need to put a stop to this and find out which are the focal points of this fake news industry that is undermining Brazilian democracy and that, oftentimes, blemishes someone who does not deserve to be disgraced, so to speak”, said Angelo Coronel.

Composed of 15 senators and 15 deputies, plus substitutes, the committee will have 180 days to investigate the creation of false profiles to influence last year’s elections and the cyberattacks on democracy and public debate. The CPMI will likewise target the practice of cyber-bullying against vulnerable officials and citizens and the enticement of children to commit hate crimes and suicide.
