Web 2.0 technologies have initiated a new age of the Web with promises to empower its users, to promote creativity, and to democratize information production (O'REILLY, 2007). This techno-optimistic rhetoric has led the general public to the notion that Web 2.0 platforms indicate some grand authoritative social change. Although Web 2.0 tools can promote citizenship and empowerment for its users, this study questions such emancipatory promises, especially in relation to people facing social and digital marginalization. In order to explore this problem space, an ethnography was carried out for ten months in the favelas of Vitoria - ES, Brazil, to study the practices and experiences of the local residents with the Web 2.0. This study analyses how Web 2.0 afforded favela residents the ability to protest on the streets and cross social boundaries, but when they did, they faced something much stronger: social exclusion, police brutality against blacks and the poor, and limited civil engagement. This study aims to expand our understanding of what Web 2.0 can and cannot do in terms of social change and digital inclusion.
