This paper analyzes the civil liability of internet application providers. Initially, this theme was the result of the case law shaped by the Superior Court of Justice, which drew from foreign legal provisions, especially the European Union Directives, the Brazilian Civil Code and the Brazilian Consumer Act. However, there was a substantial change with the enactment of the Brazilian Internet Act (Federal Law N. 12.965/14). Although this law maintained the regime of subjective liability of internet application providers, the provision for the duty to indemnify only in case of failure to comply with a specific court order imposed a considerable change in the framework that was previously asserted by jurisprudence, such as the inertia of the application provider in the face of a notification by the interested party in regard to a certain content causing harm to others. Such change has generated antagonistic doctrinal positions on the subject. On the one hand, there are those who defend the unconstitutionality of Article 19 of the Brazilian Civil Rights Framework for the Internet or the need for its interpretation in such a manner as to safeguard the personality rights and the provisions of the Consumer Protection Code; on the other hand, it is argued that the transfer of the decision on the removal of content from the Internet to the Judiciary is based on the defense of freedom of speech and the prohibition of prior censorship, which would provide greater in the decision-making on the alleged unlawfulness of the content. There has not yet been a definitive directive on the subject by the Brazilian Federal Supreme Court, therefore, this paper also addresses a proposal for the interpretation of the said provision
