The European Commission's DSA enforcement services have signed an administrative arrangement with Brazil's ANPD to cooperate on online protection of minors, covering transparency obligations for digital platforms, risk assessment, and algorithmic and AI-related measures. The arrangement facilitates information exchange, joint studies, and technical expert dialogues. Notably, the Commission has previously signed similar arrangements with the UK's Ofcom and Australia's eSafety Commissioner, and the three regulators formed a trilateral cooperation group on age assurance. Brazil's inclusion expands this international regulatory network.
Implications for Australian agencies:
- [Monitor] Agencies with interest in online safety regulation may want to monitor outputs from the EU-UK-AU trilateral age assurance group, in which the eSafety Commissioner participates.
