Regulating the dissemination of online content is necessary and must be underpinned by human rights standards. It is up to the states to ensure responses anchored in sustainable governance models for the protection of people’s rights. The purpose of the research is to identify the national communication policies implemented in the Andean countries between 2018 and 2022 that enable the adoption of the principles for a free, open and inclusive internet, as expressed by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights’ Office of the Special Rapporteur for Freedom of Expression. The research is descriptive and relational, using qualitative methodology through content analysis and semi-structured interviews. The adoption of standards is carried out, thanks to the guidance of international organizations. The humanistic vision that regulations should have is highlighted, and the aim should be to promote people’s rights in order to achieve better levels of progress and well-being.
