national threats to privacy protection in

              WELCOME 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.

Brazilian reaction to Prism raises questions about regulation and
governance of the network The Brazilian government’s response, before the
espionage on the UN Security Council was revealed, offers interesting

      How we learned to stop worrying and love the ban 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. Read

     The neutrality of the internet in Chile: Too much sophistication for
SUBTEL?
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. Read

        Watch out: NSA scandal shall not masquerade national threats to
privacy protection in LatAm The picture we sketch shows a dissonance
between Latin American leaders reactions to the Snowden case and their
governments’ practices regarding the respect and protection of privacy
within their own borders, which highlights some ironies and threats of such
nationalists reactions. Read
