| Sumario: | This commentary aims to analyze Ruling No. 83/2022 of Uruguay’s 3rd Civil Appeals Court concerning a moral damage claim brought by the relatives of a deceased individual whose mutilated image was shared on YouTube. The analysis includes a review of the case, in which the victim's spouse and minor child sought $50,000 in damages. The Court upheld the illicit nature of the defendants' actions, emphasizing that disseminating images without consent violates the rights to privacy and image and is not justified by public interest. The Court concluded that the defendants are liable for the viralization of the content, as their actions were negligent and the resulting harm foreseeable. |
