RECORDAR SEM OPRIMIR: UMA ABORDAGEM JURÍDICA DO DIREITO AO ESQUECIMENTO

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the right to be forgotten, its legal nature, and how it relates to other fundamental rights such as freedom of expression and the right to information. The research is justified by the growing relevance of this theme in the digital context, where unlimited access to information and the perpetuation of past events pose risks to privacy and human dignity. Using a qualitative approach, the deductive method was applied in the analysis of doctrine and jurisprudence, focusing on key rulings from the Supreme Federal Court and the Superior Court of Justice. The conclusions suggest that, although the right to be forgotten has not been formally recognized in Brazil, its application is debated, and in some situations, its protection may be necessary to balance the right to information with the protection of personality rights.
