Abstract

RODRIGUES REZENDE, Laura Vilela  and  RODRIGUES DE LIMA, Meyrielle. Governance of the Internet: A Study of the Brazilian Civil Framework. Palabra Clave [online]. 2016, vol.19, n.1, pp.133-155. ISSN 0122-8285.  https://doi.org/10.5294/pacla.2016.19.1.6.

The paper aims to conduct a study on the legislation governing the use of the Internet in Brazil, the Civil Internet Framework (Law 12,965 / 2014). This is a descriptive study, of qualitative nature, based on bibliography and comparative study. A brief history of the Internet in Brazil and its current outlook is initially exposed. Then, the concept of governance in the Internet and the events that marked the discussions on this subject is presented. The Civil Internet Framework addresses in Brazil, the history of its creation and the principles that govern it. We conclude that it is an important official regulatory instrument to ensure freedom and rights of the user. Its design was based on the participation of civil society, which can be considered unprecedented in regard to creating regulatory laws. It is considered that this is a sophisticated law as to its guidelines, which makes it one of the most progressive in the world. Despite all this, its democratic trajectory of creation gives a general and superficial character.

Keywords : Internet; information and development; communication and development; Brazil.
