Reverse with a "fake news" project in the Senate

It should be noted that before its treatment in plenary, the project had already received 62 amendments and one of them was from Vieira himself who wanted to replace his initial project with a completely new one, which did not include the possibility of excluding content by platforms with the intervention of independent verifiers.
