SAO PAULO, June 27 (Reuters) - The top executive of Google Brazil said on Tuesday the company encourages greater dialogue around regulating digital platforms in the country, in order to change a bill that might turn out to be "perverse" for everyone. Nearly two months ago, country's top court ordered an investigation into executives at social messaging service Telegram and Google who were in charge of a campaign criticizing a proposed internet regulation bill. Fabio Coelho, vice president of Google Inc and Google Brazil director, told reporters during an event that the company is in dialogue with Brazilian authorities and "is not against" the regulation of digital platforms. In April, Google launched a manifesto signed by the company's country director of government relations and public policy, Marcelo Lacerda, against the approval of "hasty" legislation. It redirected users to a blog post of text which was signed by Lacerda, which made numerous criticisms against the bill.

Companies would also have to pay content providers and copyrights on material posted on their sites. The Brazilian proposal is shaping up to be one of the world's strongest legislations on social media, comparable to the European Union's Digital Services Act enacted last year. They also say it will endanger free posting services for users while allowing censorship as practiced in authoritarian societies. Brazil's Justice Minister Flavio Dino has asked the consumer protection authority to investigate whether the companies engaged in "abusive practices" in campaigning against the bill. The bill was fast tracked in the lower house after a series of fatal attacks in schools which social media allegedly encouraged, and new articles added to the bill have not been debated in Congressional committees before going to the vote.
