The action is called against the "Digital AI-5" and named after the "fifth in a series of decrees issued by the military regime in the years following the 1964 military coup in Brazil"[2] and that set a hardline policy regarding freedom of speech and other civil liberties.

The Azeredo Bill is seen to privacy activists as the AI-5 equivalent to the virtual world, and thus protests against it are needed.
