As digital connectivity and big data technologies advance, phenomena such as data surveillance, information filtering, personalized ads, and fake news have spread through social media and messaging apps. These practices are supported by free services that, despite the benefits, are a threat to our privacy. The goal of this study is to carry out a literature review about the privacy issue in the current information regime within the context of Information Science (IC). As for the methodological aspects, it is bibliographic, with an exploratory nature, in which bibliometrics was performed with data from the literature review. The results found in the qualitative and quantitative analyzes point to a growing interest in the privacy issue in this field, showing that privacy was the most common word found in the data. In addition, many authors account to IC an important role in this discussion, as an area responsible for ensuring an ethical and critical perspective of the effects of technology and information practices in our society.
