Análisis del derecho a la intimidad personal y familiar en la difusión de videos e imágenes de ebrios consuetudinarios y toxicómanos en redes sociales.

Abstract

The Right to Personal Privacy is constitutionally recognized by Ecuadorian legislation and International Treaties on Human Rights, which prohibits the publication of data concerning a person's intimate life. The objective of the study is to analyze the right to privacy in the publication of videos and images of drug addicts and habitual drunks on social networks, taking into consideration that on some occasions they are used inappropriately. The investigative method used is qualitative through the review of doctrine and jurisprudence on the topic under study, highlighting the need in Ecuador to implement clear and specific regulations on the use of the Internet and social networks, since several individuals, such as in the case of drug addicts, and habitual drunks see their illness exposed through these means. For this reason, it is concluded that it is necessary to implement education and awareness programs about the risks and consequences of sharing sensitive content on social networks.
