Redes sociais: a reparação de danos morais pelas ofensas no âmbito virtual

Abstract

This study seeks to develop the possibility of compensation for moral damages for offenses through social networks. There is an emphasis on two fundamental rights: freedom of expression, present in article 5, item IX, and the inviolability of Honor, described in item X. The theoretical foundation of this work demonstrates the knowledge about the basic literature that refers to the subject discussed, which is a discussion about the possibility of indemnification for maral damages to the offended person on social networks. Based on this theoretical framework, concepts, species, theoretical context and, finally, the research to be developed will be presented. For the preparation of the first chapter of the Monograph, which will present the historical context, concepts and types of freedom of expression in the virtual sphere, the doctrinal approach was carried out based on works from legal literature as well as on internet articles, duly referenced. In Chapter II, the approach about the species and concept of honor will be presented. Finally, for the last chapter that deals with the research itself, the theme will be addressed through bibliographical research on the offense disseminated on social networks, if applicable for compensation for moral damages.
