Commentators José Eduardo Cardozo and Caio Coppolla discussed, this Wednesday ([4)in[4)emThe Great Debate (Monday to Friday, at 11 pm), if Big Techs are responsible for user publications.
The Federal Supreme Court (STF), which defines that a court order specified to exclude content for internet providers, websites and social networking managers are responsible.
Cardozo understands that it is not possible for the law to stay as it is.
“The great truth is that when the legislator did the law, and I actively participated in that, we didn’t have the scenario we have today. We thought that what was for notification was absolutely sufficient, but reality demonstrated that we will need to review some things from the constitutional interpretation itself,” he said.
“It is necessary that the Supreme interpret the freedom of manifestation and expression alongside the principle of human dignity,” he continued.
For Coppolla, social networks are not “land without law”.
“If someone feels offended by any publication just seek justice and ask to remove the content, punish the plaintiff and seek compensation. If the judge decides that the claim makes sense legally, he determines that the post leaves the air,” he said.
“What some STF ministers want is for the social network to play the role of police and judge, and remove any potentially offensive content before justice speaks,” he said.
