Digital Civil Law Enters the Update Agenda

The secretary Clarissa Medeiros Cardoso advocated for the inclusion of provisions related to digital civil law, based on principles of the General Data Protection Law and the Civil Framework of the Internet. She emphasized the importance of recognizing digital assets, such as miles and credit card points, allowing their seizure in judicial processes.

“Addressing this issue in the Civil Code is essential to align digital asset databases with legislation and ensure that virtual goods can be expropriated like any physical asset,” explained Clarissa Medeiros Cardoso.

Digital Civil Law Enters the Update Agenda

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Brazil went to China to seek money and technology to reinvent TV and bring the internet to places where fiber does not reach. The mission negotiated with the BRICS Bank led by Dilma and paved the way for a Chinese rival of Starlink to connect the Amazon.

Iceland is going to lower a drill five kilometers to reach rock at 400 degrees and try to extract clean energy on a scale that a common well cannot achieve.

At the bottom of the South Pole ice, the IceCube observatory drilled more than a kilometer and a half of ice to hunt ghost particles and test whether gravity obeys the rules of quantum physics.
