Abstract

Contextualization: Complex issues emerge from or are intrinsically linked to the digital environment. Consequently, the conventional normative frameworks of the State prove inadequate in addressing the multidimensional nature of such complexities.

Objective: This necessitates the conceptualization of a multidimensional normativity that accounts for both multidirectional dynamics and multifunctional impacts.

Method: Within this context, this paper examines the enactment of Portaria No. 351/2023 by the Ministry of Justice and Public Security and the resultant tensions on the social media platform Telegram.

Results: The case is analyzed as an illustrative example of how a networked normative model, constituted by nodes or super-structured nodes, can serve as an effective societal response to the intricate challenges posed by the digital realm.
