Text I

The New Rules of Data Privacy
The data harvested from our personal devices, along with our trail of electronic transactions and data from other sources, now provides the foundation for some of the world’s largest companies. […] For the past two decades, the commercial use of personal data has grown in wild-west fashion. But now, because of consumer mistrust, government actions, and competition for customers, those days are quickly coming to an end.

For most of its existence, the data economy was structured around a “digital curtain” designed to obscure the industry’s practices from lawmakers and the public. Data was considered company property and a proprietary secret, even though the data originated from customers’ private behavior. That curtain has since been lifted and a convergence of consumer, government, and market forces are now giving users more control over the data they generate. Instead of serving as a resource that can be freely harvested, countries in every region of the world have begun to treat personal data as an asset owned by individuals and held in trust by firms.

This will be a far better organizing principle for the data economy. Giving individuals more control has the potential to curtail the sector’s worst excesses while generating a new wave of customer-driven innovation, as customers begin to express what sort of personalization and opportunity they want their data to enable. And while Adtech firms in particular will be hardest hit, any firm with substantial troves of customer data will have to make sweeping changes to its practices, particularly large firms such as financial institutions, healthcare firms, utilities, and major manufacturers and retailers.

Leading firms are already adapting to the new reality as it unfolds. The key to this transition — based upon our research on data and trust, and our experience working on this issue with a wide variety of firms— is for companies to reorganize their data operations around the new fundamental rules of consent, insight, and flow.
    […]
Federal lawmakers are moving to curtail the power of big tech. Meanwhile, in 2021 state legislatures proposed or passed at least 27 online privacy bills regulating data markets and protecting personal digital rights. Lawmakers from California to China are implementing legislation that mirrors Europe’s GDPR, while the EU itself has turned its attention to regulating the use of AI. Where once companies were always ahead of regulators, now they struggle to keep up with compliance requirements across multiple jurisdictions.

a "digital curtain"
designed to obscure

from lawmakers and the public

A própria frase praticamente entrega a resposta.

Se algo é obscurecido, torna-se menos visível, menos transparente ou oculto aos observadores.

🔍 2️⃣ Análise das alternativas

Correta.

🎯 Skills B3GE™
contextual vocabulary metaphor interpretation semantic mapping reading precision
🎯 Insight de Prova

O motor da questão não está na expressão digital curtain. Está na relação entre a metáfora e o verbo que a explica.

digital curtain

↓

designed to obscure

↓

conceal

A banca constrói uma questão de vocabulário aparentemente sofisticada, mas o próprio texto fornece a chave interpretativa logo em seguida.

O candidato que tenta resolver pela tradução isolada de digital curtain pode se perder na metáfora. O candidato que acompanha a progressão semântica do parágrafo encontra a resposta diretamente no verbo obscure.

A armadilha está em olhar para a imagem metafórica quando a resposta está na explicação textual que vem logo após ela.

📚 Corpus Awareness B3GE™:

Em textos FGV de nível B2/C1, metáforas frequentemente aparecem acompanhadas de elementos explicativos no próprio contexto. Muitas vezes a banca não testa conhecimento prévio da metáfora, mas a capacidade de rastrear como o autor a desenvolve ao longo do argumento.
