Os modos de adesão e a abrangência do capitalismo de vigilância na educação brasileira

Public education has seen a surge in the presence of platforms from large private software companies. This in turn has raised concerns in regards to technological autonomy of school systems and institutions, the treatment of strategic and sensitive data, and the privacy of students, teachers, administrators, and legal guardians. However, we know little about the extent of these partnerships and the substance of these agreements. This article presents an analysis of partnerships established between public higher education institutions and educational systems with two companies associated with 'surveillance capitalism. The work is based on requests made via the Access to Information Law (LAI) to state education departments and public higher education institutions in Brazil. The results indicate massive adherence to these services and little clarity about the content of the partnerships. Finally, the data allowed for the validation and improvement of a script that automatically collects data and allows for an up-to-date visualization of surveillance capitalism in Brazilian education.
