The Science and Technology Commission approved the project that formalizes it, but removed the traceability mechanisms, which raised an alarm among security experts.
The report by deputy Júlio César (Republicanos-DF) suppressed the sections that provided for the identification of the origin and ownership history of cell phones.
For experts, the change undermines the main objective of the government program, which is to combat
The rapporteur understood that the complete history of ownership of the devices goes beyond the principle of necessity provided for in the LGPD ().
“Our replacement maintains the logic adopted by the program, providing for the blocking of the IMEI, telephone line and banking applications after reporting theft, theft or loss”, said the deputy.
Experts, however, say that the lack of traceability removes the effective ability to monitor the circulation of stolen cell phones in the parallel market.
Members of the security area also claim that the absence of this control hinders the identification of receivers, the dismantling of criminal networks and prevents stolen cell phones from returning to informal commerce.
For the board member of the Brazilian Public Security Forum, Cássio Thyone, it is necessary to find a balance between security and privacy.
“It is necessary to understand how far one can go further without affecting people’s privacy. But it is clear that the lack of traceability only benefits the criminal”, he told the Panel.
