Supressão do direito de acesso ao consumo diante do monopólio dos vetores de informação

Abstract

This work analyzes access to consumption as a fundamental right, in order to assess its effectiveness in the face of a new market model, constituted by the development of virtual purchasing and contracting relationships. It presents a historical aspect of the development of the market, as well as the forms of advertising carried out by companies in the digital market, based on the information collected about their users, in the position of consumers. It also discusses the parties to the consumer relationship, as well as their duties and obligations, followed by the principles that govern the relationship. In light of this, the central question is whether the abusive practices exercised by companies, which have control of the information obtained online, are capable of curtailing the right of access to consumption, always taking as a parameter the constitutional and infra-constitutional rules that regulate the consumer relationship. This is in order to demonstrate that, although there are legal and supervisory attempts to encourage access to consumption, it is being suppressed by those who control the information vectors
