A RESPONSABILIDADE CIVIL DOS PROVEDORES DE APLICAÇÕES POR CONTEÚDO DE TERCEIROS NO MARCO CIVIL DA INTERNET: ERROS, ACERTOS E NOVAS PERSPECTIVAS

Abstract

The rise of the internet and social networks enabled the formation of a new public space, conducive to the broad exchange of ideas and the consolidation of a plural and democratic society. On the other hand, there is a growing concern about the dissemination of illegal or morally undesirable content, mainly due to the high speed and wide range in which the flow of information operates on networks. This article aims to study the current civil liability system of internet providers for illicit content created and disseminated by third parties through their platforms. The methodology adopted consists of a critical examination of doctrine, legislation and jurisprudence related to the matter. The advent of the Marco Civil da Internet presents flaws and advances in the regulation of the matter, reflecting the challenges in reconciling freedom of expression with an effective regime of protection and reparation to victims.
