A regularização da internet e dos aplicativos digitais e como eles afetam a saúde mental das pessoas

Abstract

This scientific article aims to present the problems caused by the lack of regulation of the internet and digital applications, and how this omission by the State and Big Techs affects people and their mental health, who should be protected by them. This article will also present the necessary means to protect individuals and ways to prevent abuse and perversion by the State for its own interests, as well as to prevent abuse by Big Tech owners, so they cannot addict people’s dopaminergic systems through persuasive algorithms in the brain, exploiting the short-term reward system and keeping them enslaved in the addiction to their apps and social networks.
