On August 21, 2026, Brazil's National Data Protection Agency (ANPD) initiated monitoring of 22 digital platforms, including social networks and AI applications, to ensure compliance with laws aimed at preventing virtual crimes and protecting vulnerable users. Companies have ten working days to respond to the agency's inquiries. This action follows a recent suspension of Discord's live streaming feature due to concerns over child safety.

The agency's actions are part of a broader strategy announced in June 2026 to enhance online safety.
