This is not a list of companies that need to implement age verification, and it's not about age verification at all.
This is a list of companies selected by the ANPD (Data Protection National Agency) to be heard and monitored about the difficulties of the implementation of the law known as ECA Digital, which is not about age verification, but the implementation of mechanisms that avoid kids to be the target of ads, have personal data collected, be the target of e-commerce dark patterns, and the law also includes the implementation of parental control, in-app purchase blockers, and other stuff.
In other words, Brazil believes that these companies are subject to the law but they have not moved fast enough on implementation. They are attempting to get feedback while also informing the companies that yes, they are covered under the law.
> not about age verification
The law literally requires age verification. It explicitly prohibits self-declaration.
There was some disagreement about whether or not Linux would fall under these guidelines, now it appears that commercial distros do under the government’s interpretation.

Stop spreading misinformation.
