Digital Monitoring of Socio-political Life: Main Directions of Development and Opportunities for Public Control

The article shows the evolution of the theoretical understanding of the “monitoring revolution”, including the difference between the ideas of “post-capitalism” as the aestheticization and fascization of reality, heterotopia and divid (F.
