( October 28, 2026, 13:38 GMT | Official Statement) -- MLex Summary: Brazil’s National Data Protection Agency published guidance Wednesday clarifying which digital products and services must comply with the country’s Digital Child and Adolescent Statute and how their obligations will apply. The guidance covers social networks, apps, app stores, content platforms, electronic games, operating systems, messaging services and e-commerce, among other technologies. It says the authority may apply the law to a service not expressly aimed at minors if its features make access by children or adolescents likely. Providers must proactively assess and mitigate risks through measures that may include protective privacy settings, age-assurance mechanisms and parental supervision.See press release below and guidance attached....
