A PROTEÇÃO DE DADOS E A HIPERVULNERABILIDADE DO CONSUMIDOR SOB A PERSPECTIVA DO CONSENTIMENTO E PRIVACIDADE NA INTERNET.

Current paper deals with the protection of data and the consumers' great vulnerability with regard to consent and privacy on the Internet. Hypervulnerability is the starting point when dealing with consumers' data protection on the Internet. Another aspect that should be taken into account is that, within an information context, consent should not be attributed to the supporter. The resignification of liberal premises should be highlighted since they seem to be insufficient to cope with information technology. The paper aims at identifying changes from information society and the condition of hypervulnerability of the consumer whilst discussing the issue of consent and privacy on the Internet. Juridical and projective methodology is employed to pinpoint trends in the area under analysis. Several discussions contribute towards an in-depth analysis of the theme. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
