Resumo

A crisis such as the coronavirus, which has taken place in a digitalised environment, has tested the capacity and limits of big data to provide us with a complete picture of reality and indications for managing the pandemic. One of the lessons we need to learn is to understand that data reflect existing inequality and, without correct interpretation, make the most vulnerable groups invisible. To this end, the most important thing is to stop conceiving social reality on the basis of standardised criteria and to think of it as composed of individuals and groups.
