Documentary abstract — original language

The general objective of this study is to examine the role of the State in protecting children and adolescents from exposure and adultification on social media, in light of the fundamental rights guaranteed by the Brazilian legal system. The specific objectives are to: (i) contextualize the phenomenon of the exposure and adultification of minors on social media, considering the sociocultural and technological transformations of the digital age; (ii) investigate the impacts of premature exposure in the virtual environment, particularly on psychological, social, and moral development; (iii) analyze the applicable Brazilian legal framework, with emphasis on the Statute of the Child and Adolescent, the Federal Constitution, and the General Data Protection Law, examining protection and accountability mechanisms; and (iv) examine public policies and state actions aimed at protecting children and adolescents in the digital environment, identifying their challenges and limitations. The study is based on the following research question: how can the State effectively protect children and adolescents from exposure and adultification on social media? The hypothesis is that, although there have been significant legislative advances and state initiatives aimed at protecting children in the digital environment, the effectiveness of these measures remains limited, particularly due to enforcement difficulties and the rapidly evolving nature of digital platforms. The methodology consists of bibliographic and documentary research using a qualitative approach, based on the analysis of legal scholarship, legislation, case law, and specific cases. The results indicate that, although the Brazilian legal system has made significant progress in protecting children and adolescents, its practical implementation still faces limitations in addressing the new demands of the digital age. It is concluded that improving enforcement mechanisms and promoting integrated action among the State, society, and digital platforms are essential to ensuring a safer and more ethical virtual environment compatible with the comprehensive protection of children and adolescents.
