Registered and subscriber readers of Correio da Manhã can now participate in article discussions under a newly outlined framework established by the publication. According to the publication guidelines, the comment section is designed to foster reflection, debate, and the free circulation of ideas under basic standards of civil coexistence and fair play.
Reader Responsibilities and Ownership Rights
Participation requires prior reading and express acceptance of the established rules, with access limited exclusively to registered users and Correio da Manhã Premium subscribers. When submitting content, readers declare that they are the sole and exclusive owners of the associated rights, retaining property of their submissions while granting Correio da Manhã a free, irrevocable, transferable, exclusive, and perpetual license to use the material across any current or future media format. Participants also authorize the publication to diffuse their content across any available supports.
According to the publication rules, users bear sole responsibility for ensuring their submissions are not obscene, offensive, or creators of civil or criminal liability. Readers explicitly commit to avoiding commercial purposes, hate speech, racism, xenophobia, discrimination, violence, and any content intended to humiliate or damage the reputation of third parties. Furthermore, participants acknowledge that they are exclusively responsible for paying any fines, court costs, penalties, or indemnifications arising from their published comments.
Moderation, Review, and Content Removal
Correio da Manhã is not obligated to monitor, edit, or preview user comments before publication, though the editorial team reserves the right to conduct a pre-evaluation and block non-compliant submissions. The publication retains the authority to immediately delete non-compliant comments without prior notice or notification. In cases of rule violations, the platform may temporarily suspend, indefinitely suspend, or permanently ban users from commenting, regardless of their subscriber status or account classification.
All shared comments represent the exclusive and sole opinion of their respective authors rather than the position of Correio da Manhã or any third parties. Distribution via the platform does not imply prior knowledge, agreement, validation, or support from the publication. Additionally, the platform automatically hides all user comments one week after their initial publication.
