That report of NYtimes, show us how internet can contribute to democratization and a better governance through in a way that allow a lot of public participation and more transparency in the government´s actions and results, allow the people compare facts and figures with others countries and between states and cities within the own country. But more transparency is possible.
In Brazil, also there are many webpages that allow this popular participation, I, myself have participated of some webpages such as: ¨Peticaopublica.com.br¨. In this site, I voted in two proposals that I consider important . One have the title in English, We freedom and peace for mankind. This ask the presidents of all country of the world to work for freedom in the internet . Another, have the title ¨ Justice for a better Brazil¨, that ask harsh punishment for who kill in the traffic.
Beside these two, I have voted in two other that has own webpage: ¨naofoiacidente.com.br , this has the title of ¨popular initiative on traffic crimes involving drunkenness driving. And ask harsh punishment for those who kill in traffic driving being drunk. Another it is: ¨dezporcentoja.blogspot.com¨, and ask the policymakers to raise the investment in education to reach 10% of the Brazilian GDP, nowadays this investment is around 5%, by the way, many researchs has shown that education is fundamental to lower crimes and deaths and to increase citizenship and justice.
