Protección de datos personales en la autodeterminación informativa digital según las redes sociales

Abstract

Abstract: From a theoretical and normative perspective, significant challenges for the effective implementation of this right are identified, including automated data management, unauthorized visual access, and the mass dissemination of sensitive information. Despite advances in regulatory interpretation, notable gaps in practice persist, mainly in private digital environments, regarding the processing of data by legal entities. Recommendations are proposed to strengthen legal protection, foster citizen awareness, and promote a culture of respect for privacy in the digital sphere. The right to informational self-determination in the digital environment is analyzed, with special emphasis on the protection of personal data on social media platforms. The Ecuadorian regulatory framework is examined, particularly the Constitution, the Organic Law on the Protection of Personal Data (LOPD), and its jurisprudential application by the Constitutional.
