A medida consta de portaria publicada na edição desta quinta-feira (15) do Diário Oficial da União.
O protocolo tem abrangência nacional e deverá ser usado pelas secretarias de Saúde dos estados, do Distrito Federal e dos municípios para regular o acesso ao tratamento.
O tratamento é considerado menos invasivo. Ao contrário da terapia tradicional com fator VIII, que exige infusões nas veias, o emicizumabe é aplicado por via subcutânea, de forma menos invasiva.
O tratamento, de acordo com o ministério, diminuiria também a frequência dos sangramentos.
De acordo com a portaria, o paciente ou o responsável legal deverá ser informado sobre os potenciais riscos, efeitos colaterais e eventos adversos relacionados ao uso do emicizumabe.
O protocolo completo ficará disponível no site do Ministério da Saúde, na área destinada aos Protocolos Clínicos e Diretrizes Terapêuticas (PCDT).
Os gestores estaduais, distrital e municipais do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) deverão organizar a rede assistencial, definir os serviços de referência e estabelecer os fluxos necessários para o atendimento dos pacientes em todas as etapas previstas pelo protocolo.

Brazil has launched joint operations to track down those suspected of deliberately setting fires in the Amazon rainforest, as a sharp rise in blazes blankets Manaus with toxic smoke and pushes air pollution to critical levels for the city’s 2.3 million residents.

Authorities suspect an organized network is deliberately destroying native vegetation in preserved forest areas to facilitate the illegal seizure of public land, Environment Minister João Paulo Capobianco said at a news conference Wednesday. Investigators are working to identify and prosecute both those who set the fires and those suspected of directing them.
Capobianco described the situation as an “impressive display of deliberate action.” He and Jair Schmitt, head of Brazil’s environmental protection agency Ibama, cited reports of people throwing fuel-filled bottles from moving vehicles along roads and repeatedly reigniting fires in areas where firefighters had already extinguished them.
The scale of the fires has escalated sharply. Amazonas state recorded 1,608 fire hotspots in the first part of October, already exceeding the 874 registered throughout October 2025, according to Brazil’s National Institute for Space Research (INPE).
September saw more than 3,700 hotspots, four times the number recorded a year earlier. Fires burned 291,060 hectares that month, 38.8% above the historical average, according to official data.
In October, the area affected has approached 220,700 hectares, 249% above the usual level, according to the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro’s Laboratory for Environmental Satellite Applications.
The government has deployed 11 aircraft and approximately 300 firefighters to the hardest-hit areas. Difficult terrain and adverse weather conditions have complicated efforts to contain the blazes. Authorities have also warned that extreme drought and high temperatures associated with El Niño are accelerating the spread of fires across northern Brazil.
Smoke from fires in Amazonas and Pará states has engulfed Manaus, where air quality has deteriorated to critical levels. Concentrations of fine particulate matter known as PM2.5 have exceeded the maximum levels recommended by the World Health Organization, increasing the risk of acute respiratory problems, particularly among children, older people and those with pre-existing medical conditions.
The Civil Police of Amazonas has opened 120 investigative proceedings into suspected environmental offenses. Investigators are using thermal drones and conducting continuous ground patrols to gather evidence and identify those responsible.
The investigations come as Brazil prepares for a presidential runoff on Oct. 25 between incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and opposition senator Flávio Bolsonaro, who received the most votes in the first round. Asked whether the fires could be politically motivated to undermine Lula’s candidacy, Capobianco said investigators were examining that possibility but stressed that the theory had yet to be substantiated.
The European Union’s General Court has rejected a legal challenge to the European Commission’s classification of adult entertainment platform Stripchat under the Digital Services Act, strengthening Brussels’ authority to determine which online services must comply with the legislation’s most demanding obligations.
In its judgment delivered on 14th October, the Luxembourg-based court dismissed the action brought by Technius Ltd, the company operating Stripchat, against its designation as a very large online platform.
The dispute centred on how the Commission calculated the platform’s average monthly active users in the European Union, which determines whether additional regulatory obligations apply.
Under the Digital Services Act, platforms exceeding 45 million monthly active recipients in the EU are subject to enhanced supervision, including requirements concerning systemic risks, transparency, content moderation and independent auditing.
The judgment addresses a fundamental question for European digital regulation: whether companies can exclude particular categories of website visits when calculating the number of people using their services.
In February 2023, Technius reported that Stripchat had approximately 31.8 million average monthly active recipients in the EU, placing it below the threshold for very large online platforms.
The company relied on information provided by Similarweb, a commercial service measuring website traffic and user behaviour.
However, the Commission questioned the methodology used to reach that figure. Technius had discounted certain visits on the grounds that users entered the website but departed without engaging with its content.
Such visits are commonly described as bounced visits and frequently appear in commercial website analytics.
The Commission concluded that the company’s deductions had significantly underestimated its audience because the original Similarweb calculation of unique visitors already incorporated a filtering process excluding many bounced visits.
On that basis, Brussels calculated that Stripchat had more than 62 million monthly unique visitors in the EU, well above the statutory threshold.
The Commission consequently designated the platform as a very large online service on 20th December 2023. Technius challenged the decision, arguing that the figures were unreliable and that the absence of a prescribed calculation methodology undermined legal certainty.
The EU General Court rejected both arguments.
According to the court’s official explanation, the Commission had adequately explained its calculation and was entitled to rely on the data available when the designation decision was adopted.
The judges found that Technius had effectively applied deductions to figures from which relevant traffic had already been filtered, producing an artificially reduced estimate of active recipients.
The judgment also addressed a potentially significant complication.
After the Commission adopted its decision, Similarweb revised its methodology. Using the corrected method, Stripchat’s estimated monthly active audience for the relevant period was approximately 37.3 million.
That figure was below the threshold for classification as a very large online platform. Nevertheless, the court held that the subsequent correction did not invalidate the original designation.
The judges determined that the Commission’s decision had to be assessed according to the facts, applicable law and permissible evidence available when the decision was taken.
The ruling therefore does not establish that Stripchat currently exceeds 45 million monthly users. It confirms that the later recalculation was insufficient to annul the Commission’s December 2023 decision.
The consequences extend beyond one adult entertainment website.
The Digital Services Act covers online intermediaries operating in the European market, including social networks, marketplaces, hosting services and other platforms.
Its obligations increase according to the size and nature of a company’s operations. Very large online platforms must assess systemic risks associated with their services, introduce appropriate mitigation measures and submit to independent audits.
The Commission is responsible for supervising their additional obligations and can impose substantial financial penalties for established infringements.
The distinction between the two categories can therefore have considerable financial and operational consequences.
Companies falling below the 45 million threshold remain subject to relevant DSA obligations but do not face the same additional requirements imposed on the largest platforms.
The General Court’s ruling confirms that companies cannot escape designation by applying an unreliable interpretation of website traffic data.
At the same time, the Commission’s published supervisory framework allows a designation to be revoked when a platform remains below the threshold for a full year.
The judgment comes as the Commission faces multiple legal challenges to its enforcement of Europe’s digital legislation.
As EU Today previously reported, Washington has sought to intervene in proceedings concerning the Commission’s €120 million Digital Services Act fine against X, introducing an additional diplomatic dimension to European regulatory disputes.
The Commission is also pursuing separate investigations into whether major platforms comply with obligations concerning the protection of minors, advertising transparency and the management of illegal content.
In another case examined by EU Today, Brussels reached preliminary findings concerning TikTok’s default privacy settings for children, illustrating the practical consequences of the stricter duties imposed on very large online platforms.
The Stripchat judgment concerns designation rather than a finding that the company breached any substantive safety obligation. Its immediate consequence is to preserve the Commission’s original classification decision.
Technius may still appeal to the Court of Justice of the European Union on points of law within two months and ten days of notification of the judgment.
For European regulators, the decision provides judicial support for using established commercial analytics when assessing the reach of online platforms, provided that the methodology is adequately explained and the underlying evidence is reliable.
For technology companies, it confirms that the legal assessment of user numbers extends beyond the figures they choose to report to Brussels. The Commission can scrutinise those calculations and reject methods that fail to provide a reliable estimate of an online service’s European audience.
Durante entrevista coletiva em Manaus nesta quarta-feira (14), o ministro do Meio Ambiente e Mudança do Clima, João Paulo Capobianco, voltou a afirmar que os focos de incêndio tiveram como origem ação humana e garantiu investigação para identificar os responsáveis.

“Vamos iniciar uma ação forte de investigação para identificar quem está operando esse conjunto enorme de incêndios e verificar se há uma organização por trás disso. E vamos punir aqueles que forem identificados de forma exemplar para que não fique na região uma sensação de impunidade", disse.
As investigações estão a cargo das polícias Federal, Rodoviária Federal e Polícia Civil do Amazonas, atuando com outras forças de segurança. O ministro lembrou de situações similares de incêndios criminosos ocorridos em 2024, quando houve o chamado “Dia do fogo”, quando foram registrados mais de dois mil incêndios simultâneos, em São Paulo e no Pará.
“Existe uma suspeita de ação organizada. Por isso, além de todos os que estão aqui, todas as investigações, também temos a participação da Abin, a Agência Brasileira de Inteligência, para verificar se está se repetindo aqui o que ocorreu em outro momento no chamado ‘Dia do Fogo”, completou.
Os responsáveis por provocar incêndios florestais estão sujeitos a multas administrativas de R$ 5 mil a R$ 10 mil por hectare ou fração, conforme o enquadramento da infração, além do embargo das áreas atingidas, apreensão de equipamentos e responsabilização criminal, que poderá resultar em prisão.
Os incêndios no Amazonas têm gerado enormes nuvens de fumaça e diversas cidades do estado tiveram que suspender atividades. Em Manaus, a situação crítica na qualidade do ar levou à suspensão das aulas presenciais na rede municipal de ensino, em unidades da Universidade do Estado do Amazonas (UEA) e no campus Manaus Zona Leste do Instituto Federal do Amazonas (Ifam).
"A população de Manaus foi tremendamente prejudicada e está sendo tremendamente prejudicada. Há uma destruição ambiental em curso e nós precisamos punir os responsáveis porque são incêndios criminosos”, afirmou.
Capobianco também falou sobre o reforço nas equipes que atuam no combate às queimadas e disse que já há uma redução perceptível nos incêndios, mas que ainda é cedo “para comemorar”.
“Nós temos dados positivos. Não podemos comemorar, porque ainda temos uma situação grave, ainda tem muita fumaça, mas houve uma redução nos eventos de queimadas e de incêndios. Portanto, nós temos um movimento positivo e há um indicativo de redução de novos focos”, afirmou.
Questionado a respeito da fumaça em Manaus, o ministro afirmou que a expectativa é que a qualidade do ar melhore nos próximos dias, mas que a situação depende dos ventos da região.
“Há uma certa convergência de forças de ventos para a região de Manaus. É um fenômeno meteorológico sobre o qual nós não temos controle. Nós estamos combatendo intensamente, reduzimos muito os incêndios mais próximos da capital. Mas nós ainda temos incêndios mais distantes, que estão trazendo fumaça para Manaus. Nós esperamos que isso possa reduzir”, disse.
Segundo o Ministério do Meio Ambiente e Mudança do Clima (MMA), desde o início da temporada de incêndios florestais, já foram extintos 292 incêndios no Amazonas, mas que ainda há outros 08 incêndios ativos no estado.
O governo Federal disponibilizou 11 aeronaves para as operações no Amazonas, das quais seis são utilizadas no combate direto aos incêndios florestais, com capacidade para lançamentos rápidos de água.
Também foi enviado para o estado um avião KC-390, empregado no lançamento de água em grandes volumes; três helicópteros para lançamento de água e transporte de brigadistas e equipamento, especialmente úteis em áreas de difícil acesso; e uma aeronave Caravan para apoio logístico.
Além disso, 290 brigadistas já atuam em campo e outros 40 brigadistas federais estão em deslocamento para reforçar as operações de combate aos incêndios florestais na região.
No domingo (11), Capobianco e o ministro da Integração e do Desenvolvimento Regional, Waldez Góes, sobrevoaram o estado e identificaram a presença de fogo em áreas florestais de difícil acesso.
