This article presents a brief study on inequalities and democracy in online education during the covid-19 pandemic, based on a comparison between Brazil and Sweden. The paper addresses the organization of the educational systems; educational measures during the covid-19 pandemic concerning the frame factor resources such as digital technologies; the effects of these measures on access and use of digital technologies, regarding the digital divide; a problematization of online education with Big Tech digital platforms in the light of an association between liberation pedagogy and socio-technical cartography. As methodology, legislation, speeches, and statistical data from different institutions related to in Brazil and Sweden were consulted and processed through content analysis. These materials focus on the interim March-June of 2020, a period characterized by hasty adoption of measures that defined the technical and political bases of online education present until today. The authors expect that this brief investigation presents results of interest for studies on globalized countries, which shares similarities and differences on socio-educational issues and technologies for online education. Thus, this paper is a contribution to comparative studies about singularities and universalities worldwide, specially, on inequalities and democracy in online education during the covid-19 pandemic.
