Abstract: Abstract A new phenomenon is rapidly spreading in the world: original, or even official, data regarding the governments’ policies and the behaviour of their leaders are diffused onto the Internet to everybody by unofficial agents. Such novelty has already provoked some change, and may profoundly alter the relationship between citizens and governments or their leaders. Because of the newness of its nature, traditional theories may not be able to fully explain this innovation.
