    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.

    This contribution highlights the problems arising from the effects of digital tech-nology on democracy. There are three main issues that are addressed. The first is related to the control of advanced technological systems in the hands of an elite that risks increasing its power and influence on the masses of users and consumers who use new technologies. The second theme, directly connected to the first, con-cerns public trust in democratic institutions following the entry into the field of mass digital communication systems, which are often the bearers of disinfor-mation and false news ('fake news'). The third theme is that of 'surveillance capi-talism', which is linked to industrial and labor relations, in the sense that it exam-ines the implications that this entails for democracy, understood as the direct and indirect participation of workers in the workplace.
