A sociedade do espetáculo: paralelo entre a distopia literária “nós”, a violação do direito à privacidade e os limites da liberdade individual na era digital

Abstract

The research aims to analyze the relationship between the literary dystopia that Yevgeny Zamiatyan produced in 1924 and the reality of today's cybernetic scenario. Thus, having witnessed the Russian revolution and the abuses of the communist regime up close, as well as the strong repression by the Bolshevik party against citizens, in this work the novelist foresees an extremist future based on the suppression of rights – especially privacy and security. freedom – and how this shapes this society that peacefully accepts the impositions of the State. On the other hand, contemporary organizations present an extension of the aforementioned rights in which the role of the State becomes, not only regulating their rights and ensuring them in their fullness, but seeking methods that limit exacerbated exposure to virtual networks, which, currently, it is one of the main challenges for the most diverse societies. In this sense, this research seeks to reflect on the tenuous link between these constructs and expose how they relate to and influence their respective societies. This theme demonstrates social and legal relevance for the current scenario as it enables critical thinking about the State's control over citizens, as well as exposing the individual to reflection on their own rights to freedom and privacy on social networks in line with governmental duties in the difficult task of protecting its citizens' rights and personal data. To achieve this, theoretical research will be used, with a hypothetical-deductive approach and monographic and observational procedural methods. Therefore, even though there are legal mechanisms to protect the freedom of individuals and their data in Digital Law, there is still a difficult application of this right and regulation of the limits of exposure on social networks for the safety of the Internet user and not to set back the rights achieved, such as seen in Zamyatin's work, and for the rights to freedom and privacy to be enforced
