Direito dos filhos ou direito aos likes? uma análise do oversharenting e os limites do poder parental no Brasil

Abstract

The increasing digitalization of human relationships, driven by the advancement of information technologies and the popularization of social media, has significantly changed the dynamics of contemporary family life. In this new context, the phenomenon of oversharenting emerges, characterized by the excessive exposure of the lives of children and adolescents by their own parents in virtual environments. This monograph aims to analyze the impacts of this practice on children's rights, as well as to discuss the limits of parental authority within the Brazilian legal framework. The general objective of the research is to understand how oversharenting affects the personal and fundamental rights of children while also challenging the protective function inherent in parental authority. The research is based on the hypothesis that parental authority is not absolute and must respect constitutional principles and the rights guaranteed by the Statute of the Child and Adolescent. For this purpose, the inductive method was adopted as the approach, and the monographic method as the procedure, with an exploratory and descriptive character. The investigation was conducted through bibliographic and documentary research, with an analysis of the national legal system (especially the 1988 Federal Constitution, the Civil Code, and the Statute of the Child and Adolescent) in addition to doctrinal works, scientific articles, and academic studies that address the psychological, social, and legal aspects of the digital exposure of minors. The results reveal that oversharenting can compromise the

emotional, social, and psychological development of children, violating their privacy, self- esteem, image, and dignity, and exposing them to risky situations, such as virtual bullying. It

was also observed that the absence of specific regulation on the topic in Brazil contributes to the fragility of the protection of these rights in the digital environment. It is concluded that it is necessary to promote a culture of digital responsibility, together with parental awareness and the development of a legal framework that keeps pace with societal changes, ensuring that the exercise of parental authority is always aligned with the best interests of the child and adolescent.
