This paper tries to comprehend how the social protests that happened in June 2013 in Brazil radiated through social networks in the web and how mobile communication and information technologies had a key role in amplifying and empowering this information in Brazilian society during those events, turning them into social networks connected through mobile devices. This paper uses the phenomenological-hermeneutics method (GAMBOA, 2002) to support the question as to how mobile social networks can be observed in the 2013 social demonstrations in the country. The theoretical references stand on studies about online social networks (RECUERO, 2009), mobile information and communications technologies (MANOVICH, 2005; SANTAELLA, 2013) and social protests (CASTELLS, 2013), among others. During this process, it was possible to observe that the use of mobile information and communications technologies was essential to amplify and spread the social demonstrations in Brazil and to form mobile social networks.
