Regulação das redes sociais e o Projeto de Lei 2630 de 2020

Abstract

The present work is limited to the improper use of social networks. In addition to the many benefits achieved through the expansion of the reach of online social platforms, extremely harmful problems remain that end up compromising fundamental rights such as freedom of expression, personality rights and human dignity itself. In this context, through the bibliographic analysis of books, scientific articles, magazines, periodicals, as well as related legislation, the research deepens the debate about the need and possibility of regulating social networks, dealing with the compatibility of regulation before the fundamental rights of the first dimension, in addition to the types of regulation and bill 2630 of 2020. The second chapter of the study focuses on addressing the inappropriate use of social media, addressing mass disinformation, incitement, and the commission of crimes through social media. Soon after, the work examines the compatibility between the regulation of networks and the rights of the first dimension, notably freedom of expression and demonstration. Subsequently, the research evaluates the regulatory species - self-regulation, hetero-regulation and regulated self-regulation - observing the benefits and harms that each model can manifest. In the fifth chapter, this study focuses on the analysis of bill 2630 of 2020, critically examining the provisions contained in the base text and in the substitute presented by the bill's rapporteur in the Chamber of Deputies, and then lists propositions to the bill. Thus, it is believed that the present work can contribute to the primary objective of providing relevant reflections for the debate on the regulation of social networks and the search for a national legislative option for the problem.
