Abstract

This article aims to discuss the use of social networks as an public
sphere in the light of Jürgen Habermas’s theory, having as justification the current
political landscape experienced in Brazil and in the world. It employs the
inductive method in its totality and dialectical method into the synthesis criticisms
deferred to the work of Habermas. It understands that the public sphere
is an intrinsic element to contemporary citizenship because it allows an active
dialogue between the State and the civil society. It understands that the public
sphere can be manifested through social networks, which have a lot of dialogical
potential, despite the existence of fake news and the dissent that can arise from
pluralism. In the end, it concludes that the technological public sphere is a fundamental
political right.
