Descripción
Objective: This study aims to analyze how international legislation focused on combating terrorism impacts freedom of expression and the sharing of ideas in the digital environment, considering the use of surveillance technologies by governments and platforms. Methodology: Based on the actual literature on the subject, the research critically analyzes international legislation about platform regulations and surveillance technologies. It also examines the role of digital platforms in enforcing terms of service that are stricter than local laws, particularly regarding content deemed terrorist. Results: The results indicate that the ambiguous definition of "terrorist act" allows governments to classify criticisms as terrorism, restricting freedom of expression. Furthermore, the work shows how, by implementing stricter usage policies, digital platforms create an environment where expression is more monitored and, in many cases, censored. This exacerbates the adverse effects of constant surveillance on individual rights. Contributions: The study contributes to the debate on the need for balanced regulation to prevent terrorism without compromising freedom of expression. It highlights the importance of protecting fundamental rights in a context of increasing surveillance, proposing guidelines to avoid state and private abuses in the use of these technologies. © 2024, Centro Universitario Curitiba - UNICURITIBA.
