STF moves big tech appeals to physical plenary; platforms react to Lula's decrees

Simultaneously, associations representing Meta, Google and TikTok issued an open letter against Decrees No. 12,975 and 12,976/2026, warning of legal uncertainty, excessive content removal, and disproportionate compliance burdens on companies of different sizes.
