Aspectos Jurídicos da Prática do Sharenting por Pais e Responsáveis Legais no Espaço Digital

Abstract

This study examines the legal aspects of the practice of sharenting by parents and legal guardians in the digital environment, encompassing the fields of Human Rights, Civil Law, Digital Law, and the Rights of Children and Adolescents. The research adopts a bibliographical and legislative approach, grounded in historical, philosophical, and normative frameworks, with emphasis on the rights of children and adolescents, the Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil of 1988, the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, the General Data Protection Law (LGPD), and Law No. 15,211/2025. The study develops a critical analysis of the limits of parental authority and the potential violation of the fundamental rights of minors. It further investigates how sharenting, understood as the excessive sharing of content involving children and adolescents, may negatively affect their psychological and physical development. The risks include misuse of images and videos, particularly through manipulation enabled by Artificial Intelligence technologies, leading to unauthorized data storage, dissemination in hidden digital environments, and exposure to child exploitation and identity theft. The findings indicate that such practices may violate the personal rights of minors, who are recognized as subjects of rights and require special protection due to their ongoing development, thus reinforcing the need to ensure their right to be heard and to receive full and integral protection.
