Volunteer Teacher XVIII part II

     Very good project of law, if were approved will increase considerably the number of hotspots ( places where is possible to connect the wi-fi net freely) in Brazil and contribute to the so-called digital inclusion.
     Many researchs has shown the slow pace of the broadband expansion, Brazil has been left behind in this important tool of information, integration and education.
     Nothing more fair than governmental organizations to share with the population their broadband, because as the project`s author, the congressman João said that these places has good connection channel, if this happens, is because the population pay for it, so why not to share their underutilized connections.
     I agree to block pornography webpages, but what kind of mechanisms will be used to detect some possible use for criminal actions, what this really means? I think to block also banks webpages and any shopping online would be enough.
      What the population can not accept is some kind of monitoring, the users can not lose their privacy in order to prevent criminal acts in internet, intrusive methods of surveillance is not the answer for this kind of crime, this supposed safety of some users can not come at the expense of loss of privacy of other. This kind of alleged prevention from criminal acts can not come derogating fundamental human rights.
      Nobody should accept this kind of surveillance, if not we could create a dangerous precedent to democracy and to the guarantee of individual liberties. As our constitution says in the article 5 ¨ the privacy, private life, honor and image of people are inviolable, and the right for compensation for property or moral damages resulting from their violation is ensured¨. Correspondence and eletronic communication are also protected, except by court order for purposes of criminal investigation or criminal procedural finding the facts.
     In 13/03/2012, this project of law was approved by the commission of Labour, administration and public service, lack now be approved by others three commissions, if you want more information about this project of law or anything else regarding project of law, call congress 0800619619 and/or access:  camara.gov.br
