The informational Society generated new informational fundamental rights and, therefore, requires new ways of protection. The right to information is one of the new rights given, at least in Brazil, although it expressly enshrine in the Constitution of 1988, only in 2011 promulgated the Law on Access to Information, with the objective of increasing the transparency of public administration. This way for increased government transparency is a trend expanded on the concept of e-government, which will modernize services, provides greater interaction and democratization in the relationship between citizen and government.
