Tecnologia de ICT e combate à covid-19
um debate entre privacidade e interesse público na Coreia do Sul
Resumen
Cuando se trata de tecnologías de la información y la comunicación, entra en juego la aparente bipolaridad entre intereses públicos y privados, y más concretamente, el derecho a la intimidad. Esta dicotomía no es diferente cuando se enfrenta al nuevo coronavirus en Corea del Sur, un país que basa el control en el Big Data. Sin embargo, el debate sobre el tema en un país del Lejano Oriente debe estar libre de orientalismos, y es necesario analizarlo alejándose del concepto de modernidad y derecho moderno. En este paso se examina la formación jurídica surcoreana a través de la imposición del Derecho Civil y las bases ético-políticas confucianas. Lo moderno y lo tradicional se unen en la comprensión del bien común, la democracia y la privacidad en Corea del Sur, lo que resulta en excepciones al derecho a la vida privada en el interés público y la salud. Así, se estructura un estricto sistema de protección de datos personales que admite limitaciones en casos de crisis de salud pública, ocasionadas por enfermedades contagiosas. Ante tales problemáticas, el objetivo es contextualizar la formación de la comprensión de la privacidad y el interés público en Corea y analizar el uso de las TIC en la prevención y combate al COVID-19, desde sus bases históricas, éticas y legales. Para ello se utiliza la metodología bibliográfica y el método inductivo.
