24 Aug 2026 ByteDance Brasil Tecnologia Ltda. (TikTok)ANPD fines TikTok operator 153.77 million BRL over data of minors €25.6m
The Agência Nacional de Proteção de Dados (ANPD, Brazilian data protection authority) imposed three fines totalling 153,769,671.33 BRL on ByteDance Brasil Tecnologia Ltda., which operates TikTok in Brazil (63,176,686.67 BRL each for breaches of Art. 7 and Art. 6 VIII LGPD, and 27,416,297.99 BRL for Art. 6 X LGPD). According to the decision, data of children and adolescents were processed without a valid legal basis both in the feed available without registration and when accounts were created, and effective preventive and accountability measures were lacking. The authority also ordered the deletion of data of registered adolescents aged 13 to 18 whose legal representation is not regularised within 60 working days, backed by a daily penalty of 137,081.49 BRL for each day of delay.
Platforms that reach minors need a sound legal basis and demonstrably effective safeguards – including for services used without registration.

The CADE Tribunal found that the Libra league, as a joint venture of clubs for the joint commercialisation of broadcasting and commercial rights, was notifiable and had been implemented before clearance, and approved a settlement (Acordo em APAC) with Libra and Flamengo, Palmeiras, Santos, São Paulo and Grêmio with an alleged pecuniary contribution of 559,267.26 BRL. The parties must notify the transactions already completed within 60 days and report changes to their commercialisation structures for three years; for the rival league FFU (formerly LFU) no infringement was found because the turnover thresholds were not met. The amount and the facts have not been confirmed against the primary source.
Clubs and associations that market rights jointly may form a notifiable joint venture and must obtain clearance before launch.

2 Jul 2024 an international social media groupANPD provisionally halts a social media group’s AI training on Brazilian users’ data Order
The Conselho Diretor (board of directors) of the Autoridade Nacional de Proteção de Dados (ANPD, Brazilian data protection authority) ordered, as a preventive measure, that the group suspend in Brazil the part of its new privacy policy on using personal data to train generative AI and immediately stop this processing across all of the group’s products, including for people without a user account; a daily penalty of 50,000 BRL was set for each day of non-compliance. The authority saw indications of a missing appropriate legal basis, insufficient transparency, obstacles to exercising data subject rights and a lack of safeguards for data of children and adolescents. Following a request for reconsideration, the ANPD upheld the measure in July 2024 and suspended it at the end of August 2024 after approving a compliance plan submitted by the group.
Anyone wishing to use existing user data for AI training must settle the legal basis, information and opt-out options robustly beforehand.

21 Sep 2022 companies of two international platform groupsCADE: gun-jumping fine for companies of two international platform groups €141,103
The CADE Tribunal found that a transaction between the Brazilian holding company of an international media and internet group and an internet investor (concerning the platform company of a further group) was a notifiable concentration that had been implemented without clearance. It accepted the fine of 718,554.00 BRL proposed by the parties themselves, payable within 90 days, and dispensed with a subsequent notification.
Transactions between international platform groups can also be notifiable in Brazil; a review before completion avoids fines.
