Fake News e seus desdobramentos a liberdade de expressão.

Abstract

With the increasing modernity and use of the digital medium, it is an observable fact the gradual bombardment of information on a daily basis, which induces the construction of a fine line between information and disinformation. In this sense, the present work of completion of course aims to address the issue of the phenomenon of Fake News in contemporary times and its interfaces with the Fundamental Right to Freedom of Expression. Thus, in view of a society increasingly dependent on information technology, it should be noted that such modernization guarantees a greater possibility of access to knowledge, but at the same time it generates adversities, such as the issue of the exorbitant amount of information received daily, which makes it difficult to identify what is or is not true in the virtual environment. Under this bias, the Right to Information clashes with the Right to Freedom of Expression, so it is necessary to debate the extent to which one can lead to the limit of the other's effectiveness, considering that the phenomenon of false news reaches the entire medium social, political and virtual; which goes against the guarantee of human dignity and the achievement of social democracy. In methodological terms, we opted for bibliographic research and document analysis; from the analysis of several laws and jurisprudence, as well as the Federal Constitution itself, as well as the consultation of scientific articles, academic works, doctrines and journalistic materials, based on the deductive method. Finally, it is possible to deduce, from the jurisprudential and scientific analyzes, that, although necessary for the construction of a democratic and healthy discourse, freedom of expression is not an absolute right and can, therefore, be limited, albeit subtly , from the moment that this fallaciously injures the dignity and well-being of the other.
