Resumo

A tensão entre segurança e liberdade constitui um dos dilemas fundamentais das sociedades contemporâneas, intensificado exponencialmente pelo advento das tecnologias digitais de vigilância em massa. Este trabalho examina criticamente esse paradoxo a partir de marcos teóricos biopolíticos e filosóficos, argumentando que as arquiteturas digitais contemporâneas não apenas equilibram segurança e liberdade, mas reconfiguram radicalmente as próprias modalidades do poder governamental e da subjetividade individual. Através de uma análise que integra os conceitos foucaultianos de biopolítica e governamentalidade com perspetivas contemporâneas sobre vigilância digital, sustenta-se que o paradigma securitário atual opera por meio de mecanismos de control preventivo que transcendem as formas disciplinares tradicionais. A pesquisa explora como algoritmos preditivos, sistemas de reconhecimento facial e plataformas de datificação em massa constroem regimes de visibilidade onde a liberdade é simultaneamente proclamada e corroída. Argumenta-se que este paradoxo não representa uma contradição acidental, mas sim uma característica estrutural do capitalismo de vigilância, onde a extração de dados biométricos e comportamentais constitui tanto o meio de control como também o fundamento económico das plataformas digitais. As conclusões sugerem que resolver essa tensão requer repensar fundamentalmente as categorias políticas herdadas da modernidade inicial, desenvolvendo marcos normativos capazes de proteger a autonomia individual sem sucumbir a ilusões de transparência total ou segurança absoluta.
