Among the documents requested are the change in the privacy policy to exclude the use of data to train AIs and a statement signed by a legal representative of the company; After an appeal by Meta was denied by the ANPD, the agency granted five more days for the submission of the documents.

In Vote No. 19, rapporteur Joacil Rael also postponed the analysis of the requests for a suspensive effect and the request for full reconsideration of the decision. Supported by the votes of the other directors, he understood the need for a detailed technical analysis of the proposed measures and the presentation of a compliance plan accompanied by an implementation schedule.
