☆ Google aims to avoid 'perverse' regulation in Brazil, says executive

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.

An app that simulated colonial Brazil in the 17th century allowed users to be slave masters. The game was called "Slavery Simulator" and was available in Brazil for about a month. A Brazilian lawmaker filed a complaint against Google and alleged that some users praised the app. The game — called "Simulador de Escravidão" or "Slavery Simulator" — was available to Google Play users in Brazil starting April 20 before it was taken down on Wednesday, according to The Post. The game was downloaded more than 1,000 times before it was removed from the digital store, the Post reported.
