Internet regulation is one of the most controversial and complex issues facing society today, involving governments, civil society, internet communities and sectors of the private sector in the elaboration of principles, norms, rules and decision-making procedures for the regulation of actions that may or may not be done in the network.
The modern economy is directly related to information in the same way that companies in the last century were dependent on steel and large machines.
The path that has already been successfully taken in creating a legal framework for internet regulation and data protection in Brazil must be preserved and seen as a model of basic and technologically neutral principles, subject to the rapid changes characteristic of this environment, but that keeps the principles of protection of fundamental rights and guarantees safe.
