Abstract

Many have attributed the excesses of private power in the digital age to the internet’s “lawlessness.” Julie Cohen’s Between Truth and Power explains why this is a dangerous misconception. The law has not sat idle during the rise of informational capitalism; it has undergone extensive transformation and now facilitates corporate surveillance and manipulation on a global scale. Meanwhile, legal institutions have taken a turn towards managerialism and away from democratic accountability. Recognizing these transformations and the ideologies that motivate them is critical to grappling with the legal challenges of the digital era.

摘要

许多人将数字时代私人权力的过剩归因于互联网的“非法”。朱莉·科恩（Julie Cohen）的《真理与力量之间》解释了为什么这是一个危险的误解。在信息资本主义兴起的时候，法律并没有闲着。它已经进行了广泛的改造，现在促进了在全球范围内的公司监视和操纵。同时，法律机构已经转向管理主义，摆脱了民主问责制。认识到这些变革以及激发变革的意识形态，对于应对数字时代的法律挑战至关重要。
