<span lang="EN-US">In this edition we analyze the national threats to privacy protection in Latin America, as well as the Brazilian reaction to the Prism and its consequences related to Internet governance. We also observe the regional IGF and the problems of net neutrality in Chile. Human rights in the digital environment in Colombia and an unsuitable insight from Peruvian legislators about the internet are also addressed in the new edition of August 2013.</span></div>

Brazilian reaction to Prism raises questions about regulation and governance of the network</h4>

How we learned to stop worrying and love the ban</h4>
A group of bills recently introduced in the Peruvian Congress address various issues related to Internet use. However, its take on technologies and their potential is biased and pessimistic resulting in formulas which propose banning all that which can not be controlled. <a href="http://digitalrightslac.us7.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=8a81193b2802c8d10cdc029bf&id=a8db0bd7a0&e=45511a61be" style="color:rgb(86,197,208);font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">Read more</a>.</div>

The neutrality of the internet in Chile: Too much sophistication for SUBTEL?</h4>
<br>
The neutrality of the internet in Chile is not much better now than it was three years ago, when there was no law in this regard. A large part of the responsibility for this can be laid at the door of the regulatory authority SUBTEL, which appears not to have taken on the technical challenges that the implementation of the legislation requires. <a href="http://digitalrightslac.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8a81193b2802c8d10cdc029bf&id=f2eb413da7&e=45511a61be" style="color:rgb(86,197,208);font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">Read more</a>.</div>
