Pobreza digital: O moderno afronte aos direitos humanos.

Abstract

The digitally disadvantaged, those restricted in access or skills, face significant challenges in accessing fundamental rights and guarantees in the midst of the increasing pervasiveness of information and communication technologies in various aspects of life. Therefore, this study aims to comprehend the causes and consequences of digital poverty as an intrinsic issue within the realm of human rights, considering human advancements and efforts to address this issue in Brazil and worldwide. The research followed a qualitative, bibliographical approach, drawing from a variety of sources addressing digital poverty, human rights, and the evolution of information, the internet, and technologies, including regulations, books, articles, and online resources. As a result, the study confirmed digital poverty as an obstacle to the realization of human rights and the essential nature of internet access and ICTs for full participation in today's society. It also highlighted the need to develop strategies to mitigate inequality at a pace that matches our discovery of new ways to experience life.
