Abstract
In The Digital Republic, Jamie Susskind, a lawyer specialising in commercial, public and information law, argues that digital media needs greater regulation. Moving beyond merely pointing out the increasing power of tech corporations, Susskind argues that the digitalisation of everyday life affects politics very fundamentally, influencing how we conceptualise and enact justice, democracy, equality, property and liberty. Todays defining political relationship lies between the corporations who design and control digital technologies and individuals who have little choice but to live with these commercial technologies, which exert dominating power (Susskind, 2022: 29). `Digital republicanism is the proposed response, with `republicanism as the alternative to individualism.
