Digital markets are challenging the application of antitrust law due to the rapid pace of technological development. The Brazilian government is in an advanced stage of discussing a bill on the economic regulation of digital platforms, which should be introduced in Congress soon. This proposal would take into account the recommendations made in October 2024 by the Secretariat for Economic Reforms of the Ministry of Finance, based on a public consultation and an in-depth study of these markets and the different regulatory approaches.
This webinar offers an opportunity to hear the perspective of experts and key actors in this debate, provoking reflections on the experience of the European Union and the United Kingdom, and the work of the Administrative Council for Economic Defense in digital markets.
Special attention will be given to the interoperability obligations that have been imposed in these jurisdictions, facilitating a dialogue on the advantages and challenges of the different regulatory models.

Future of social media: what’s the recipe for pluralism, long-term user value and safety in recommender systems?
The social media ecosystem has been dominated by a handful of tech companies, shaping the flow of information and limiting innovation. The dangers have never been clearer. Their algorithms decide which content is sourced and indexed, which posts rank higher in newsfeeds, which topics will be trending or censored.
This power should come with great responsibility. Meanwhile, very large online platforms stick to a reckless business model, optimising their recommender systems for short-term user engagement and advertiser value. This design choice has been criticised by civil society and independent researchers because engagement-based ranking disproportionately amplifies low-quality, misleading and sensational content.
Can social media platforms deliver long-term user value and support pluralism? How to make design choices that affect our fundamental rights, civic discourse and public health more responsible? The panel will discuss strategies for transforming a closed social media ecosystem into an open market, benefiting consumers/citizens, ethical innovators and publishers.
