Abstract: The article aims to analyze
the impact of the digitalization of Public
Administration activities, labeled Electronic
Government, on the ability to fulfill
fundamental social rights. It adopts as a base
the concept of digital invisibility, defined
as the inability to have access to the digital
government, mainly based on empirical data to
access the world wide web. It uses the deductive
methodology from the bibliographic analysis
about the matter. It verifies the hypothesis
that the use of technological tools as unique
mediators poses a particular risk to social rights
due to digital invisibility. Taking into account
the objective dimension of fundamental rights,
it concludes that the State must guarantee
digital access broadly, especially to vulnerable
groups. State recipients should not be imposed
insurmountable obstacles in the search for the
fulfillment of constitutional promises.

1 Introduction
Technological advancement has provided humankind with new
ways of relating and performing tasks with less effort before being
very difficult to perform. Contemporaneity and its complexity bring the
emergence of increasingly powerful technological tools. In the brave new
world, the internet has left personal computers and invaded everyday
things. It is common now to see features that were almost exclusively
linked to human nature to be mimicked in machines. The machine is also
capable of learning, contracts have become intelligent, data is growing,
and strategy is gaining importance. However, paradoxical situations start
to emerge when the human being is seen as a central element of life in
society because the evolution of digital technologies has a profound
impact on several fields of human life.
The domain of fundamental rights, especially in realities of
profound inequality, as a Brazilian, imposes on the legal scientist with
techie features (HARTLEY, 2017), a new look at consolidated concepts
in the field of constitutional and administrative Law. The changes that
technology brings are not always about new rights or situations but are
also about old questions, ins a new environment. One could argue that the
real challenge is not in the new situations but the necessity of address old
problems with new technological features or in the traps that lie behind
the view of technology solutions as an all might problem solver. Every
new solution can bring along a new problem.
As an element of society, the figures by which the State is
manifested also suffer influence and must transform themselves, adapting
to a reality that demands more and more digital action by the Public
Administration. Therefore, it is necessary to take into account that the
possibility of introducing technological tools in the Administration alters
the equation referring to the model of State action in that field, possibly
changing the results or assumptions of a given action. There is no doubt
that the new rights require the resizing of administrative Law (FREITAS,
2019, p. 27).
