Digital Architecture, Social Networks, Regulation, Democracy, Platform, Big TechsAbstract
Digital architecture has decisively altered society and, consequently, demands legal responses. From the Internet developed in the 1970s for military purposes, almost nothing remains the same. The platform has given unparalleled power to technology companies, changing the way we communicate, approach politics, negotiate, and also how we relate to each other. In today's digital economy, users' attention is the main product, and these users are also content producers. In this model, the spread of false information is facilitated, putting democracy and science at risk. To address these phenomena, it is essential to develop and implement appropriate platform regulation mechanisms to protect society and freedom. This study builds on this context to analyze some regulatory responses that are being debated in Brazil.
