Abstract
The internet has long ceased to be a utopian counter-draft to the inherited communication structures of the past. The internet and digitality manifest and reinforce inherited power structures. Even worse: social gains in emancipation and justice have become precarious through digitalisation, algorithmisation, platformisation and value extraction from self-created private markets in data capitalism. But there is hope: we show where and how norms should be formulated in a networked world that make the distribution of rights and duties in digital constellations more just and justifiable.
