The maxim that says "information is power" takes on a larger and more complex dimension when experienced in the era of the spread of Internet access and the revolution of microcomputing. In this sense, we understand the hacktivist, as a political actor because of the possibilities of activism that are tied to their technical expertise. For this study, we conducted eight interviews, among researchers and hacktivists. We used A. Samuel (2004) to bring typologies of practices and definitions of hacktivism, M. Castells (2003, 2013), to instruct the research about internet legislation, M. Machado (2013, 2015) and S. Silveira (2010, 2015), who approach and research hacktivism in Brazil, and e F. Malini e H. Antoun (2013), with the definition about narrative hacker. Our research is centralized on the hacktivists organizations media, such as WikiLeaks and Mídia Ninja, focusing on two specific cases in which the organizations acted as narrative hackers: during the economic crisis in Iceland in 2008 and during the June Journeys of 2013, in Brazil, respectively. We verify that the two cases of hacking preceded and stressed the debate about digital rights and internet access, resulting in digital rights laws in their respective countries.
