The advances brought about by the digitization of relationships led to changes in the way people communicate, consume, and even impacted the exercise of citizenship by the elderly population in Brazil and worldwide. This process occurred alongside with the significant increase in life expectancy in the country and the need for this group to actively participate in this technological transformation process. The common weakness of diverse internet users and the lack of mastery of basic skills in handling devices such as computers and smartphones are new challenges related to the portion of the population that has been growing in recent decades and is not so used to the technological innovations by not being made of digital natives: the elderly. Going through the challenges mentioned above, without forgetting the structural barriers such as difficulty in accessing the network and acquiring modern electronic devices, this research questions: how is the digital inclusion of the elderly regulated by the Brazilian legislation? The hypothesis is that digital literacy is not treated as an instrument to achieve this inclusiveness goal. The objectives are, in summary: to investigate how the law acts or omits in the face of the digital exclusion of the elderly, to analyze the importance of their digital literacy, and to share practical experiences in this area. To do so, the inductive method will be used to understand the impact of law in this new order, making use of bibliographic and documentary sources such as doctrine in digital and constitutional law, survey of legislation and bills related to the subject. with the contribution of scientific articles of national and foreign origin for the design of the encompassed scenario, its challenges, and possibilities. In addition, ethnographic research was carried out with a digital inclusion project for the elderly in Natal/RN, through activities carried out over 2 months of duration. It is concluded that Brazilian laws do not reflect the essentiality of digital literacy of the elderly for the realization of their constitutionally guaranteed rights and citizenship in the information society.
