O limite da desinformação

Abstract

This research addresses the phenomenon of mass disinformation under social, technological and legal aspects. The process of formation and influence of (and in) public policies is presented, as well as the Brazilian internet governance. The national normative structure is managed to explain applications and uselessness of certain legal instruments existing in the battle against misinformation. The research is carried out based on bibliographic analysis, with the application of qualitative techniques, with the analysis of speeches, ideas, studies, articles, and other bibliographic materials. The hypothesis lies in the possibility of limiting the reache of opinions and thoughts on the network, as a way of balancing freedom of speach and the right to information. Solutions are presented in the form of an efficient action model to combat fake news.
