Abstract

The development of Technologies of Information and Communication, especially the Internet, have revolutionized the ways of interaction between individuals, causing the formation of the Information Society . The virtual environment has become part of the population’s everyday life, and where facts of legal significance occur . The regulation of the Internet is a matter that has been discussed worldwide and in Brazil translates as the Civil Landmark of the Internet (Draft Bill nº. 2126/2011 ) . Given such a scenario, the present study aimed to verify whether the draft bill of the Civil Landmark of the Internet is aligned to other Latin American laws regarding the regulation of the Internet and the institutes set forth in the Draft Law nº 2126/2011 are shown sufficient to protect the rights of Internet users . To do so, the method of inductive approach was used, also methods of monographic and comparative procedure and, finally, the research techniques applied were documents and literature. Initially we constructed an overview about the different aspects of the Civil Landmark of the Internet, highlighting in it institutes to be observed more closely. Subsequently, we sought in Argentina, Chile and Uruguay laws that regulate Internet and observed the treatment of prior elected institutes. After work, it is concluded that in a general aspect, the Civil Landmark isaligned with the predictions that regulate the Internet in other countries and is even ahead of them in various aspects and better prepared to protect the rights of network users.
