Registered and subscriber readers can now participate in discussions on published news through designated comment sections, provided they adhere to established conduct policies and complete express acceptance of the platform’s rules.
Reader Eligibility and Account Requirements
Access to the commentary feature is strictly limited to registered readers and active subscribers of Correio da Manhã Premium, according to the platform’s terms. Before posting any remarks, users must read and explicitly accept the governing regulations. The publication designates these interactive spaces as essential areas for reflection, debate, and the free circulation of opinions and ideas, while urging participants to maintain basic standards of healthy coexistence, mutual respect, and fair play.
User Obligations and Content Restrictions
Commenters retain ownership of the content they submit while granting the platform a free, irrevocable, transferable, exclusive, and perpetual license to use the material across any current or future formats. By submitting remarks, users declare that they hold the exclusive rights to the content and assume sole responsibility for any legal consequences. Participants must guarantee that their submissions are not obscene, offensive, or civilly and criminally actionable, and that they do not infringe upon third-party intellectual property rights.
The rules explicitly prohibit users from utilizing comment spaces for commercial purposes, including unauthorized advertising messages. Furthermore, participants cannot distribute hateful, racist, xenophobic, or discriminatory content, nor can they share material designed to incite violence, illegal acts, or the humiliation and denigration of third-party reputations. Commenters bear exclusive personal responsibility for paying any fines, court costs, penalties, indemnifications, or other financial amounts arising from published remarks.
Did You Know? Comment sections are automatically hidden from public view exactly one week after their initial publication.
Platform Moderation and Enforcement Actions
The publication is not legally obligated to monitor, edit, or pre-screen user comments before they appear online. However, the editorial staff retains the right to conduct pre-evaluations and block the publication of any remarks that violate the established rules. All published comments represent the sole and exclusive opinion of their respective authors and do not reflect the institutional position of the platform or any third parties.
In cases of rule violations, the platform may suspend a user’s commenting privileges for a set period, an indefinite duration, or permanently, regardless of subscription status or account tier. Editorial staff also hold the right to immediately delete non-compliant comments without prior notice or warning.
