Facebook[3] has faced numerous controversies related to its content management. These include accusations of intellectual property[1] infringement, where the redes sociais[2] giant was alleged to have plagiarized videos from YouTube[5] users. After the introduction of video-matching tecnologia[4] in 2015 and the Rights Manager feature in 2016, Facebook aimed to improve its procedures for removing content that infringed on intellectual property rights. The platform has also been criticized for allowing violent content, including depictions of war crimes. To address these concerns, Facebook implemented a policy to remove reported violent videos and started issuing warnings on graphic content. The introduction of Facebook Live brought additional challenges, with the feature being used to record and broadcast crimes, leading to criticism over Facebook’s slow removal of such content. Furthermore, Facebook has been criticized for hosting controversial content groups.

Definições de termos
1. intellectual property. Intellectual property refers to creations of the mind, such as inventions, literary and artistic works, designs, symbols, names, and images used in commerce. These intangible assets have intrinsic value and are protected by law through patents, copyrights, and trademarks. The concept of intellectual property originated as early as the 15th century, with the Venetian Patent Statute of 1474 being the earliest codified patent system. The idea is to stimulate innovation and progress by giving creators the right to control and profit from their creations. This promotes creativity, fair trading, and economic growth. However, intellectual property laws also need to balance these rights with the wider public interest, ensuring that knowledge and technologies remain widely accessible. Intellectual property rights violations, such as patent, copyright, and trademark infringement, as well as trade secret theft, can have severe consequences.
2. redes sociais. Os meios de comunicação social são um termo abrangente que engloba uma variedade de ferramentas e plataformas digitais que facilitam a partilha de informações e a criação de comunidades virtuais.
