Regarding the structure, this paper is divided into three chapters. The first chapter will introduce the internet and explain its concept, historical evolution, and its concepts related to the law; the second chapter will explain the Brazilian Civil Rights Framework itself, exploring its background, creation and principles; finally, the third chapter will discuss the net neutrality principle, analyzing the open nature of the network, the applicability and exceptions of this principle, as well as its importance.
