Marco Antônio Junqueira de Arantes authors an article in Migalhas on one of the most relevant regulatory topics of the moment: the STF judgment on Article 19 of the Marco Civil da Internet and its impacts on digital platforms and foreign investors operating in Brazil.

The article highlights an aspect that went unnoticed amid the World Cup: the unprecedented requirement that the legal representative of digital platforms must necessarily be a legal entity with registered offices in Brazil.
