This article reviews the development of the internet civilian framework (ICF) in Brazil - to be until now the only country in the American continent with a political Internet constitution; As well as the policies that have been implemented in the Americas Region. For the above, the Brazilian policies that guarantee the rights of privacy and neutrality of the network against those of the same type in the continent that are contrasted, evidencing the failure of the latter to violate - precisely - the rights that they pretended to claim; In this sense, the Colombian case is examined. The document provides a baseline for research on regulation of the use of this service in the region, as well as on the impact it generates among Internet users.
