Information and Communication Technologies imply the emergence of several challenges in order to combat the misinformation circulating in the virtual environment. To this end, issues such as freedom of expression and the right to information were analyzed in relation to the architecture and dynamics of the social networks Twitter and Facebook. From these understandings, we investigate what are the main political-legal challenges in Brazil in combating disinformation on these social networks from the Covid-19 pandemic, considering the clash between the public sphere versus the private sphere. The contradictions of the main bill in progress and the general panorama of what the others seek to propose were verified. We evaluated how the Federal Government dealt with the pandemic in relation to information (which is also a problem of legitimacy), since the very agents of the State and responsible for preparing the regulations are the exponents of misinformation. Finally, it was specifically addressed how Brazil behaved considering the Access to Information Law (LAI), since it represents the institutional way to get several answers about the pandemic.
