Resumo:
This research, carried out in the municipality of São Lourenço/MG, aims to describe the socio-technical and techno-political dynamics of data-driven urban mobility based on the use of platforms and their suitability under the General Data Protection Law (Law n. 13,709/18) . To this end, we verified before the public bodies the companies accredited and documented for the operation of urban mobility, as well as the applications allocated in the Google platform base called Playstore to analyze the controversies and controversies that have arisen regarding data protection, together with interviews of the Director of the local transit agency (SL TRANS) and owners of these startups. Mapping and describing mobility in this data-oriented context, we describe the network from the cartography of controversies, having as an investigative reference the Actor-Network Theory of Bruno Latour, in addition to the studies of Network Society by Manuel Castells and Cyberculture by Pierre Lévy, consistent in examining the effects and implications of technological change. After this tripod, we arrive at what André Lemos calls PDPA within contemporary society – Platformization, Datafication and Algorithmic Performativity, consistent with the notion of mediation and agency, since each user’s data is used with assets to train and build algorithms, not being more mere information, but determinants of decision models. Due to this cartographic context, we examine the evolution of the concept of privacy towards data protection and how it can and is impacting the users of such platforms. As a methodology, there is an exploratory dialectical research, consisting of mapping and describing mobility through applications, field research carried out through semi-structured questionnaires, conducting interviews, in addition to the qualitative-quantitative analysis of the applications. Therefore, it seeks to contribute so that the Municipality can guarantee the development through innovation and adequacy of its norms by demanding and allowing that the platform guarantees data protection.
