Responsabilidade das plataformas digitais nos crimes de ódio: Qual a responsabilidade da plataforma “X” em relação aos crimes de ódio praticados virtualmente por seus usuários?

Abstract

Due to the constant growth in the number of users on social media and the increased personal interaction and exposure, the commission and propagation of hate speech in the virtual environment have become prevalent, as seen in the case of the X platform (formerly Twitter). Therefore, this thesis aims to clarify the real responsibility of digital platforms in controlling and combating such hate speech, while safeguarding freedom of expression as provided in the Constitution. It also seeks to draw a parallel between hate speech and freedom of expression. Finally, it was necessary to study cases, decisions, and jurisprudence that highlight the growth of hate speech and the legal responsibility of digital platforms in addressing this crime.
