O impacto das redes sociais na opinião pública e no julgamento do caso “Boate Kiss”: análise dos efeitos da exposição midiática no Tribunal do Júri

Abstract

This study addresses the significant influence of social media in contemporary society, particularly in the legal context. It analyzes the tragedy that occurred at Boate Kiss in 2013, which shook Brazil, and how social media played a crucial role in disseminating information, raising awareness, and engaging the public during the case's trial. Digital platforms were used as tools for dissemination, enabling the rapid propagation of real-time news and updates. The media exposure of the case on social media sparked intense debates, fostering discussions about the causes of the tragedy and the quest for justice. The influence of social media on public opinion and the trial was also examined, including the impartiality of jurors. The interdisciplinary approach, encompassing legal, sociological, and communication aspects, provides a comprehensive analysis of the effects of social media on this specific case and its broader implications for the Brazilian judicial system amidst the challenges brought by the digital age. The study contributes to reflections on the relationship between technology, justice, and society, offering relevant insights to improve the judicial system and promote a more effective and accessible justice system in the era of social media.
