What the woman's defense says In defense, the woman reported that the posts were just real memories of everyday life, with no intention of offending or profiting. She also argued that the process was just revenge for the family because she had already obtained a protective measure against her ex in another action. "When analyzing the case, the judge understood that the occurrence of moral damages was not proven, as the images portray true facts, do not have vexatious content and there was no demonstration of damage to the authors' extra-patrimonial sphere", highlighted the TJSC. However, the judge understood that no one is obliged to let their photo be used after they withdraw authorization. The defense tried to argue that social networks served as a "diary" or "digital biography" of the woman, but the judge dismissed the thesis, explaining that personal photos have no informative value or public interest that outweighs the will of those who appear in them. Woman could be punished if she posts new photos The family also tried to ban the woman from posting any new photos of them in the future, but the judge refused the request. According to him, banning posts in advance would be censorship, which is prohibited in Brazil. He warned, however, that if she publishes images again without permission, she could be punished later. Regarding the controversy involving the announcement of the sale of the mechanical workshop, the court understood that it was a property dispute arising from the previous stable union, a matter that must be discussed in a specific action before the Family Court. Now, the woman has 15 working days to delete the photos as soon as the family sends the links to the posts. If you do not comply with the order, you will have to pay a fine of R$100 per day, which can reach up to R$1,000 VIDEOS: most watched on g1 SC in the last 7 days
