Resumen

Actualmente existe un debate creciente sobre del impacto de las redes sociales en la sociedad. Los potenciales efectos negativos de estos medios han despertado el interés y la cautela de los académicos. Esta investigación se centra en tres intersecciones de las redes sociales y las libertades fundamentales: libertad de expresión, libertad de información y privacidad. Se analiza en primer lugar las redes sociales y su evolución desde su nacimiento a principios del siglo XXI, y destacando sus aspectos positivos. Se propone así identificar las malas prácticas relacionadas con redes sociales y libertades fundamentales. Se presenta una revisión de la literatura que subraya esas malas prácticas. Esta revisión destaca asuntos como la censura arbitraria, los límites de la libertad de expresión, la desinformación, la diversidad de fuentes, visiones y perspectivas, el contenido del usuario y los ajustes de privacidad, y la creación de perfiles de datos. Por último se proponen algunas soluciones para cada uno de estos asuntos.
