Liquid democracy (or digital participatory) is a form of direct democracy in which people can vote on individual proposals without delegating all their decisions to a single representative. To do so, citizens can vote through issue-by-issue online platforms.
The simulation of these spaces of representation (political, geographical and ideological), presupposes universal access to these technologies, as well as the homogenization of their use, revealing the place of digital technology as an ideology that operates based on its supposed transparency, and to that extent, it reinforces its forms of control over the territory, subjects and information flows.
