Questo contributo mette in evidenza le problematicità derivanti dagli effetti della tecnologia digitale sulla democrazia. Tre sono i temi principali che vengo affrontati. Il primo è legato al controllo di sistemi tecnologici avanzati nelle mani di una élite che rischia di aumentare il suo potere e la sua influenza sulle masse di utenti e consumatori che utilizzano le nuove tecnologie. Il secondo tema, direttamente connesso al primo, riguarda la fiducia del pubblico verso le istituzioni democratiche a seguito dell’entrata in campo di sistemi di comunicazione digitale di massa, che spesso sono portatori di disinformazione e notizie false (‘fake news’). Il terzo tema, è quello del ‘capitalismo della sorveglianza’, che si lega alle relazioni industriali e di lavoro, nel senso che esamina le implicazioni che questo comporta per la democrazia, intesa come partecipazione diretta e indiretta dei lavoratori sui luoghi di lavoro.;
