A construção do constitucionalismo digital na era da desinformação: o caso Cambridge Analytica e seu impacto no ecossistema constitucional

Abstract

This research demonstrates how the impacts of recent technological advancements (notably the increased dissemination of fake news and the Cambridge Analytica case) have affected not only individual rights but also put the democratic system itself at risk. In the face of these phenomena, many researchers and jurists seek tools to oppose and control these technologies, which include a growing debate on the topic of digital constitutionalism. This work aims to inform about what digital constitutionalism entails and whether it can be considered a minimally effective paradigm in combating misinformation and other violations of rights (and democracy itself) in the virtual scenario. As a method, this work starts from extensive bibliographic research and study of concrete cases, demonstrating how the concept of digital constitutionalism still lacks precision and development.
