Abstract:
The monograph intends to carry out an analysis of the situations involving
discussions about the limits of freedom of expression with regard to cyber crimes.
The main objective of the work is to identify the criteria for delimiting freedom of
opinion on the internet. Through research, it seeks to understand the boundary
between freedom of expression on the internet and from where it will be considered
abuse of this right. Cyber crimes are crimes committed in the virtual environment of
the world wide web. Often, an opinion can be identified as a crime. Thus, it is
necessary to establish criteria so that limits are set for free expression on social
networks. In addition, some recent cases from the higher courts are analyzed for a
better understanding of the problem. Virtual crimes are constantly evolving and this is
a novelty for Brazilian legislation. It is known that there are limits to be respected in
users' publications on the internet, however, there is a debate about who can define
such criteria. The fact is that recent decisions by the judiciary have led to inquiries
from members of the legislative branch. Therefore, it is necessary to establish an
understanding of what should be censored or considered criminal on the World Wide
Web. In addition, which court will be competent to prosecute and prosecute the
offense. What drove the realization of this work was the fact that it is a very current
topic, in view of the recent and controversial decisions of the Judiciary regarding the
suspension of profiles that supposedly divulged false information, in addition to the
general debate about which is the limit on the expression of opinion on the internet
and its relationship with cyber crimes. The methodology used was descriptivequalitative. The result obtained was satisfactory in the sense that a balance must be
made between the constitutional principles, analyzing each case in isolation.
