This study addresses the issue of the digitalization of the public sphere and of methods of contention, including civil disobedience. By looking more closely to some of the structural characteristics of digitalization, it aims to face the conceptual, normative, and political problems raised by it. However, within the limited space of this contribution, the following reflections could only be tentative and serve only as future discussions.
