ABSTRACT
In Latin American countries there are very few laws and constitutional clauses relating to the protection and development of human rights in cyberspace and most of them deal only partially with the issue or do not give enough consideration of the main ones involved in the problem under study. Besides the aforementioned rules, and always within the Inter-American System of Human Rights sphere, there are many other relevant documents adopted by the Rapporteur for Freedom of Expression of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, which are specifically related to internet regulation. The inter-American jurisprudence, based on the relevance of the exercise of other human rights or for the consolidation, functioning and preservation of democracy protects in particular: any political discourse and on matters of public interest and any discourse by public officials in the exercise of their functions and by candidates for public office.
