Abstract(s)
A vigilância eletrónica pode ser entendida como qualquer processo de recolha, em contexto
eletrónico, sistemático, rotineiro e concentrado de dados pessoais para um determinado
propósito. Como revelou Edward Snowden, atualmente a vigilância eletrónica já não é somente
direcionada a alvos considerados suspeitos, abarca quase todos os cidadãos. Num contexto onde
a quantidade de dados que são gerados pelos utilizadores é gigantesca, o acesso a esses dados
é cada vez mais importante para diversas entidades. O facto da National Security Agency (NSA),
uma entidade governamental, já possuidora de uma enorme quantidade de dados, ter
conseguido aceder a dados fornecidos por diversas empresas multinacionais como, por exemplo,
o Facebook e a Google, chocou e alertou ainda mais o mundo para a vigilância eletrónica.
Porém, os cidadãos já não podem ser vistos apenas como agentes passivos no contexto desta,
tanto podem, em certa medida, negociá-la ou tentar resistir-lhe como também exercê-la sobre
outros, como ocorre nos casos da vigilância inversa e lateral. Nesta investigação seguiu-se, em
grande medida, as questões levantadas pela conceção teórica da vigilância como cultura,
procurando-se explorar o papel dos cidadãos nesta. Os objetivos desta investigação são: por um
lado, captar o modo como as pessoas percecionam e experienciam a vigilância eletrónica, e
por outro, analisar as suas práticas face à vigilância. A metodologia adotada é de carater
qualitativo, tendo-se utilizado a entrevista semiestruturada como técnica de investigação.
Electronic surveillance can be understood as any personal data collection process that is electronic, systematic, routinized and concentrated for a given purpose. As Edward Snowden revealed, nowadays electronic surveillance is no longer exclusively aimed at suspicious targets, it covers almost every citizen. In a context where the amount of user-generated-data is enormous, the access to that data is increasingly important to different entities. The fact that the National Security Agency (NSA), a government entity already possessing an enormous amount of data, was able to access data provided by several multinational companies such as Facebook and Google, shocked and further alerted the world about electronic surveillance. However, citizens can no longer be seen only as passive agents in the surveillance context, they can, to a certain extent, negotiate or try to resist it, as well as surveil others, as in the case of reverse and lateral surveillance. This investigation followed, to a large extent, the questions raised by the theoretical approach of surveillance as culture, aiming to explore the role that citizens have in it. The objectives of this investigation are, on one hand, to explore how individuals perceive and experience electronic surveillance, and on the other, to analyse their practices concerning surveillance. This research was based on a qualitative methodology, the chosen technique was the semi-structured interview.
