Digital democracy grants information the power to spread quickly and without filters, but this lack of control has introduced the question of the veracity of data that travels the web.
The authority of a website is sometimes compared to that of a newspaper regardless of sources, almost ignoring that the words of a news, an article, a blog may contain visions of an unconsciously or deliberately distorted reality.
What had to be a means without filters is gradually becoming a network managed and monitored by computerized automatisms, bots and artificial intelligences, necessary to manipulate data on a large scale, sometimes to steal or corrupt it, sometimes to verify its integrity and correctness.
A real technological war, man against the machine and machine against machine, which aims at reconquering the centrality of man in communication with the other man. "I'M NOT A ROBOT" is placed between the digital publishing on the web and the original one, made of printed paper, which loses more and more following. The captchas represent precisely the will to verify the human nature of the reader, a reflection of a desire for more direct and more truthful communication, an approach that has always been a primary social need.
