| Summary: | The article discusses the use of social networks by the Justices of the Brazilian Supreme Federal Court (STF). The research identifies a gap in sociological and empirical studies on the production of digital content by Justices on social networks. The hypothesis is that the impact and quality of the content produced still need to be better estimated. Drawing on a combination of a quantitative methodology for social networks analysis, based on digital methods, and a qualitative methodology, the article analyzes the content of the STF Justices on Twitter posts. We show that, although there are not many posts by the Justices, there are constant mentions of issues related to fundamental rights, which bring them to the limits between law and politics. The article concludes by raising questions about the scope of these posts and the debate about the freedom of speech that the members of the Brazilian judiciary hold and how this interacts with the belief in the democratic legitimacy of institutions such as the STF. |
