Brazil’s Chamber of Deputies has fast-tracked Bill PL 2628/2022, a measure marketed as child protection but criticized for expanding government power over online platforms. Chamber President Hugo Motta approved an urgency request that bypassed normal legislative debate and committee review, pushing the bill forward almost overnight. Lawmakers opposing the move say the process violated democratic norms and was designed to silence dissent while granting the government sweeping powers over digital platforms.

The bill mandates age verification, rapid content takedowns, and compliance with a new federal oversight authority empowered to sanction or even suspend platforms. Critics argue that while framed as child safety, the legislation is a tool for censorship and political control, echoing concerns already raised in the UK after its Online Safety Act granted similar powers. With biometric checks, ID verification, and vague definitions of harmful content, such measures risk eroding privacy, online anonymity, and freedom of speech under the guise of protection.

This kind of legislation reflects the steady march toward a system of global surveillance and control foreshadowed in prophecy. Revelation 13 warns of a coming Beast system where buying, selling, and even speaking freely will be tightly monitored. What begins as “protection of children” or “safeguarding society” often becomes the mechanism by which freedoms are surrendered. As we see governments worldwide embracing digital IDs and centralized oversight, we are watching the infrastructure of prophetic control being laid brick by brick.

Stay Awake. Keep Watch.
