In this article, the objective is to answer the question posed with ideas, criticisms, impressions on the subject of Surveillance Capitalism and Libraries in the face of a platformized world. Therefore, methodologically, an explanatory study materialized as an academic essay is presented. For the argumentative development, a priori clarifies some concepts such as: Surveillance Capitalism, Platformization and the Economy of Attention. Subsequently, the presentation of the “Library Bill of Rights” of the ALA and the “Code of Ethics for Librarians and other Information Workers” of the IFLA and the 2030 agenda of the United Nations (UN) are marked. In sequence, the work of Librarians and their commitments with access to information with security and privacy are problematized. Finally, as results and discussions, perceptions are established regarding the implications of platformization and the economy of attention in Libraries and in the professional practice of Librarians.
