Social networks and political representation

Abstract

The social networks and different smartphone applications allow access to the desires and behaviors of their users. As we never have our data shared making it possible for our steps to be predicted. Such transformations alter the way of seeing politics, accentuating the representativeness crisis. This article should demonstrate how many of the traditional Western democracies that seemed consolidated, face disputes between those who defend the most fundamental rights and those who think they are subterfuges to guarantee the perks of an institutionalized caste.
Keywords: democracy, social networks, representativeness.
