 Democracy has the **limitation of power** by countervailing power, the so-called balance of power, as its precondition. Applied to Big data, this means that the collection, processing and use of data by companies and states alike requires democratic, public control by the whole society. Individual netiquette, so to speak as "rules of conduct" for companies and consumers, is one thing. Laws, data protection rules and their enforcement are the other. Digitalisation is political. If it is to be fruitful and productive in an environment of peace and social progress, this technological change is depending on the rule of law, transparency and a critical civil society, even under changed circumstances. In addition, the transformation processes that go hand in hand with digitalisation once again claim for 'matured' citizens. What is meant by this? Democracy has the **limitation of power** by countervailing power, the so-called balance of power, as its precondition.

-Among many other aspects, it is important to systematically reflect on the **"current structural change of the public sphere"**. Under these conditions, not only certain contents are relevant if citizens want to navigate in the thicket of information, gain orientation and arrive at a reflected own opinion. It is just as important to understand the **"structures of the production of truth"** - and to what extent these are the ones that generate certain contents and others not.+Among many other aspects, it is important to systematically reflect on the **"current structural change of the public sphere"**.

 This differentiation may also raise awareness of another moment: the problem of **"filter interpretations"**. It can be observed, for example, that in the context of certain major political events, a particular "wording" quickly gains influence. As a kind of interpretation aid, so to speak, which, however, is often accompanied by an interpretation. This may offer the citizen some orientation. However, quick discursive definitions can also exclude other perspectives and promote the distinction between social milieus instead of initiating an open dialogue, a frank controversy on ideas, by which citizens struggle for truth and democratic values. This differentiation may also raise awareness of another moment: the problem of **"filter interpretations"**.
