Abstract

The Brazilian Federal Constitution, apex of the legal system, protects the freedom of expression in large amplitude, sealing, however, anonymity. Considering the existence of a mobile application called Secret, which ensures the posting, in the virtual world, anonymously, and in view of the current democratic model that stands for freedom of expression responsibly, it is not possible for the information sender is not identified, otherwise possibly in the exercise of its expression, in case of abuse, violating someone else's personality rights. On the other hand, if allowed the use of said application, to what extent it promotes hate speech? Considering the instantaneous and global communication, it is clear that the harmful potential is quite sharp, complaining, so an even more intense protection by the law, calling the UN Agency to take steps in this direction. What should pursue is the full realization of human dignity, universal value and basic principle of legal systems.
