The present paper aims to analyze the appropriation of digital culture by young people in situations of social vulnerability. It discusses the ways in which these individuals have been coping with the challenges of digital inclusion, as well as the importance that Internet and social networking sites have achieved in their everyday lives. Based on a qualitative research with in-depth interviews with young people from one of the poorest areas in Porto Alegre city, the study concluded that having access to digital networks does not imply the end of digital divide, but it does constitutes a fundamental step towards a greater social equity.
