SHARENTING AND INTEGRAL PROTECTION: LIMITS OF PARENTAL AUTHORITY IN THE EXPOSURE OF CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS ON DIGITAL PLATFORMS

Abstract

This article sought to analyze the phenomenon of sharenting, understood as the repeated exposure of children and adolescents on digital platforms by their parents or guardians, considering the principle of integral protection and the limits of parental authority. In this context, it examines the personality rights guaranteed to children and adolescents, as well as the physical, psychological, and social impacts resulting from the early construction of a public identity, in addition to risks related to the improper and unrestricted circulation of data. The research adopts a deductive method, with a qualitative approach, of an exploratory and bibliographic nature, based on case studies, judicial decisions, and national and foreign legislative initiatives aimed at regulating the matter. Therefore, a relevant legal gap was observed in addressing sharenting, the seriousness of which demands specific regulation and greater social awareness of the risks of the digital environment, in order to prevent technological progress from compromising the protection of the rights of children and adolescents.
