Abstract
The digital public sphere creates a shortcut in the normative tension between what is and what ought to be. The digital public sphere fills the cognitive gap created by the democratic self-legislation founded on the distinction between private interest and public good. Due to the enduring absence of political regulation an increasing minority of us-ers recluse themselves among social media supporters that amplify the voice of those who dogmatically think alike.
Keywords: Habermas, public sphere, digital age, democracy
