This pre-bill is gaining enthusiasts over the time, but the time is against
it since a bill takes around 5 years to be approved. At least could have
some educative purposes.

In the same situation we have a data protection bill, unfortunatelly no
english version avaliable. Proposing a central autority to manage the
general identities among other details.

And finally our main cibercrime bill, 12 years old, in a dead end to be
approved (or not) with lots of people against it (mostly for political
reasons), even with a massive attack against gov.br sites some weeks ago
showing there aren't criminal laws to deal with this issue:
