The aim of this study is to discuss some controversial decisions made by the Brazilian Courts of first instance that allowed the WhatsApp application to be temporarily blocked in Brazilian territory. The judges focus their attention on the definition of end-to-end encryption and seem to not consider adequately the collision between two fundamental rights: privacy and security. We will criticize their approach and will highlight what the real risks are for the fundamental rights when we consider the possibility of a pluralist democracy in the Internet dimension.

A Study on the Implementation of the New Criminal Procedural Code
The modernization of the judicial branch through electronic and computer routines intends that the various participants in the process use different computer resources – such as the Internet – to convey the necessary information and to make the resolution of controversies easier with greater speed and efficiency. However, failures in the accomplishment of the electronic court record surface and bring severe consequences when dealing with criminal cases, since fundamental rights are discussed. Considering the development level of e-government, the paper will present a diagnosis of the current implementation of the electronic court record in the Peruvian criminal procedure, underlining its main benefits and difficulties.

The Electronic Government is an application field for ontologies, which play a key role in the development of the Semantic Web. Consequently if we focus on the law and the public policy that base the governments and build a dialect ontology that encompasses the electronic government needs of services at the front-office with a delimited scope on the Mexican Ethnics Groups, we will provide a starting point to enable a broad class of semantic electronic government applications. In this paper we show the e-Government Dialect Ontology in order to access documentation throughout Government Portals.
