O IMPACTO DAS REDES SOCIAIS EM RELAÇÃO À VIOLAÇÃO DO DIREITO DE IMAGEM

Abstract

Social networks have positively facilitated interaction and connection between people. However, as a result, this negatively led to an increase in virtual crimes. With the advancement of the internet, the rise of social networks and the speed with which people access these media at the same time, it is obvious. Some users use this means to cause offenses against the rights of others, such as private life, honor, and their image, rights that are inherent to the individual's personality. The present work aims to demonstrate that the advancement of social networks, with their capacity for rapid propagation, has facilitated crime in this communication environment, but there are measures to be taken, through the civil liability of its users who offend the right to image of a person, such as indemnity. Using the method of research and analysis of laws, books, reports, articles and in the light of Jurisprudence, it was concluded that the user who violates a person's right to image on social networks can, in fact, be held civilly liable. However, with the exacerbated growth of users accessing these social media, and the way in which these violations of constitutionally guaranteed rights occur, it is urgent to implement a legal provision that regulates in a special way the civil liability of those who use these media to commit crimes, extending, when applicable, to its providers.
