In this edition of the Cybernews, we highlight the main news on data protection in June 2025.
Check out our opinion on facial recognition and biometric data related to the risks and responses from the National Data Protection Authority (ANPD in Portuguese).
Furthermore, we bring in the decision of the Regional Labor Court of the 7th Region (TRT7), which did not hear an ordinary appeal due to the absence of dialectics and the presentation of non-existent or altered case law due to the suspicion of using artificial intelligence (AI) tools. A fine was imposed for malicious prosecution and it was determined that an official letter was sent to the OAB (Brazilian Bar Association) to investigate a possible disciplinary violation.
Moreover, an appellate judge’s decision denied a request in a lawsuit based on an AI-edited video submitted as evidence in a civil-service examination. The Superior Court of Justice (STJ in Portuguese) has decided to maintain the operation of “Resolve Juizado” platform, which prepares complaints with the assistance of artificial intelligence for BLR 19,90.
Lastly, the 4th Panel of STJ decided that a platform for digital investments in cryptocurrencies should compensate a user who was a victim of fraud, under the understanding that financial institutions are strictly liable for damages caused by internal fortuitous events related to fraud committed by third parties in banking operations.
