Abstract

This research aims to analyze the existence of an illegal act in the sharing of posts that contain a situation of moral damage and the extent of the damage in these cases. The research aims to answer the problem of whether it is possible to construct specific criteria for determining the quantum of compensation in cases of moral damage caused by sharing harmful posts. It is set against the problem of the lack of legislation and academic articles dealing with damage to personality rights as a result of sharing harmful posts. By choosing the inductive method, the work will be built on the analysis of judicial precedents and a bibliographic survey in order to enable discussion of the research hypothesis, which is the affirmation of the existence of moral damage due to the sharing of harmful publications and the consequent extent of the damage. The intended result is the systematization of the criteria for setting the quantum of compensation when civil liability is verified. The proposed contributions are the consolidation of the majority understanding of the higher courts on the object of study and the formulation of a thesis applicable to future court decisions on the quantum of compensation in moral damage actions for sharing harmful publications.
