This paper aims to analyze the arguments of the public hearings held in the process of regulating the Internet in Brazil, in the context of the legislative process of the Marco Civil da Internet (MCI), and in the context of ADI n. 5527 and ADPF n. 403, in the STF, actions that deal with the blocking of WhatsApp in Brazil and question the constitutionality of provisions of the MCI. What are the connecting points of the arguments of the public hearings analyzed? Has there been any change in understanding regarding the model of an Internet regulation in Brazil after these 7 years (2010-2017)? The year 2017 was when the public hearings analyzed were convened. Methodologically, this is a qualitative research. It is based on the theoretical framework of legal argumentation, with the Toulmin model. It concludes that the argumentative model can dialogue well as a methodological construction for Internet regulation. Among the various theses used, net neutrality and the privacy of its users are the two main arguments pre and post MCI. Social participation should be seen as a guarantee of rights within a digital democracy, in order to generate plurality in the construction of the Internet regulatory environment.
