MORAN REYES, Ariel Antonio. Digital Epistemology as a Bridge between Digital Literacy and the Right to Information. Investig. bibl [online]. 2022, vol.36, n.91, pp.193-206.  Epub 15-Nov-2022. ISSN 2448-8321.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iibi.24488321xe.2022.91.58579.

In recent years, the repercussions of disruptive technologies have recalibrated many of the edges of the national legal systems. The fact that several provisions of the legislation resort to digital technologies to guarantee the deployment of essential freedoms (such as the right to information) does not necessarily translate into an understanding of their effects on daily life, nor on the development of indispensable capacities to take advantage of its benefits (without the loss of some type of agency). Therefore, being immersed in a digital culture, and in a broad informative legal framework, does not imply that the sectors and communities of society have an understanding of the requirements that this digitality seems to impose for the enjoyment of their rights, as epistemic agents that seek, process and transmit information. To freely deploy our essential faculties, and to fully enjoy our freedoms, it is vital to become digitally literate. In order to articulate the full exercise of the right to information with the faculties that digital literacy integrates, a more robust theorizing is needed that helps to discern between digital processes and informative processes, namely, a digital epistemology that helps to understand how it is that the digital dimension influences the understanding of the informative dimension.
