Governos, Empresas, Wikileaks e Governança da Internet

Abstract

The WikiLeaks case is a concrete example of how close are the relationships between governments and private companies - a process that undermines democracy and questions the willingness of governments to act primarily on behalf of public interest. In this work we offer, analyzing the WikiLeaks episode in the end of 2010 from a regulatory a political perspective, a brief summary of the responses that emerged in one of the main spaces of discussion on the global governance of the Internet - the IGC, the Civil Society Caucus for Internet governance - in its attempt to respond to the complexity of the dispute over surveillance, control, freedom and autonomy in cyberspace.
