REDES SOCIAIS E A VIOLAÇÃO DE DIREITOS FUNDAMENTAIS: UMA ANÁLISE ACERCA DA LEGISLAÇÃO BRASILEIRA E DAS POLÍTICAS DE PROTEÇÃO A ESSES DIREITOS

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to reflect on the types of violations of fundamental rights on social media, highlighting the behavior of Brazilian legislation and protection policies related to this context, with the general objective of verifying the treatment given to the protection of fundamental rights by social media platforms. Initially, a literature review is conducted on social media and their role in contemporary society, as well as on relevant fundamental rights such as freedom of expression, privacy, and dignity. The theoretical foundation is based on authors such as Alexy (2011), Aros and Gomes (2017), Bobbio (2004), Freitas (2018), among others. An analysis of Brazilian legislation applicable to social media and the protection of fundamental rights was performed, highlighting the Federal Constitution, the Internet Civil Rights Framework, and other relevant laws, as well as the protection policies adopted by social media platforms. Finally, a specific case of violation of fundamental rights was analyzed, which served as a basis for presenting recommendations and reflections on the effectiveness of existing legislation and protection policies, as well as possible improvements and future challenges.
