The Federal Public Ministry (MPF) has filed a public civil action in court for the streaming platform MUBI, a favorite with viewers, to reveal the indicative evaluation of its programming. This is an obligation under Brazilian law for parents and guardians to control the content watched by children.
In the document sent to the 8th Federal Court of Justice, the MPF argues that the rights of children and adolescents have been “systematically violated” by MUBI, offering works to its subscribers without the possibility of parental control through indicative evaluations.
In addition, the action provides full access to the application for the Ministry of Justice and Public Security (MJSP), which has the task of overseeing the national rating policy.
According to the document, in February of this year the Ministry of Justice tried to arbitrate the MUBI to correct the inadequacies, but received no response. It was then that he represented the MPF asking for measures to ensure that the company complied with Brazilian legislation. The contact tracing showed that the company does not have an office or representation in the country.
If it does not comply with Brazilian laws, the international platform could suspend its activities in the country.
It is worth noting that MUBI has an indicative classification system that describes, title by title, if the content can be seen by the general public, if it is for an adult audience or if it deserves parental attention to determine if it can be watched. by teenagers. . The difference lies only in the failure to adopt the specific criterion established by the Ministry of Justice, which has the same function, but establishes different age groups.
