PRESIDENTIAL VETO (VET 32/2025) - Veto type: Partial - Date: September 17, 2025 - Generated law: **Lei 15.211/2025** - Veto message: MSC-PE 1307/2025 - Senate tracking code: 170525 (currently in progress for veto override consideration) - Specific articles vetoed: Not available through API data (requires accessing full veto message PDF) --- ## 11.

KEY OBSERVATIONS FOR OSINT INVESTIGATION 1. **Meta's direct participation**: Taís Niffinegger (Meta's Public Policy Manager for Safety & Well-being) appeared at BOTH the Senate hearing (May 15, 2024) and Chamber hearing (June 11, 2025). She was directly invited by the bill's rapporteur, Dep. Jadyel Alencar, in REQ 9/2025. 2. **Google's double presence**: Google sent two different representatives -- Flávia Annenberg (Government Relations) to the Senate, and Roberta Rios (Public Policy) to the Chamber. YouTube's Alana Rizzo also appeared at the Senate. 3. **Industry-friendly hearing framing**: The third Chamber hearing (where Meta and Google appeared) was framed around "digital education, parental controls and inclusion" -- the most platform-friendly framing of the three hearings. The first two hearings (on mental health and platform responsibility) did NOT include direct platform representation. 4. **Deputy Marangoni (UNIÃO/SP)** specifically requested adding Google, YouTube, and STRIMA to the hearing. His justification language closely mirrors industry talking points about "collaborative" and "constructive" debate. 5. **Deputy Cleber Verde (MDB/MA)** specifically requested adding the ESA (gaming industry lobby). His nearly identical REQ 16 and REQ 17 submissions for both the second and third hearings suggest coordinated effort. 6. **Conselho Digital do Brasil** appeared at both Senate and Chamber hearings. This organization warrants further investigation as a potential industry-aligned entity. 7. **Câmara Brasileira da Economia Digital** (Ana Bialer) appeared at the Senate hearing -- this is a tech industry association. 8. **Speed of final passage**: The bill went from urgency approval on Aug 19 to plenary vote on Aug 20 to presidential signature on Sep 17 -- unusually fast, suggesting either strong political momentum or that key negotiations had already occurred. 9. **Partial veto**: The presidential veto (VET 32/2025) may have removed provisions that industry lobbied against -- this requires further investigation of the actual veto message. 10. **The bill originated in the Senate** (Alessandro Vieira, then PSDB/SE) and passed through three Senate committees before reaching the Chamber, where it was processed primarily through CCOM under the REPUBLICANOS rapporteur.
