Abstract
The social platform of Facebook is used nowadays for different purposes. Among these uses, recently the modality of funas (or public shaming) has become frequent with the intention of accusing and leaving in evidence to others a particular fact though this way. The other users serve as a kind of judge to give support or not to the situation described. It is conceived a kind of need to make public what happens to me, what I do, what has happened to me and if something is, in my opinion, bad, others must know about it and the person involved harmed. Under this idea of the need to make public through the Facebook platform, the relationship of the Foucault panoptic is created, where Facebook is a means in which users are monitored and punished. Therefore, we try to determine if, under the users' vision, this modality of exposing a particular situation to judge is a kind of punishment and, in turn, a way of mediating justice.
