> Dear all,

> As we have received so much support from the international community, I'm happy to let you know that Marco Civil has just been approved at the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies. Now we need to approve it in the Senate.

> This is the final version of the text:

> 
> Of course, the text is not perfect and we still have to fight for changes on data retention. Nevertheless, its a happy day for many of the Brazilian civil society organizations mobilized for approving a bill of rights for the Internet. A lot of very good people have been engaged and doing an amazing job in Brasilia and on the social networks, without giving up, despite of the never ending vote-not vote soap opera. #FeelingProud :)
> 
> I would like to thank you for all the support received to far, as international pressure have helped as well. 
> 
> This is also a good step for NetMundial.

> all the best
