Against the backdrop of debates about the regulation of digital data and technologies, this chapter examines what needs to be done to (re-)gain democratic control over digital practices and infrastructures. Many of the harms arising from current digital practices neither break any laws nor contain open conflicts, yet they still harm important interest and stakes that people have in data. After analysing why this is the case, the chapter outlines two main ways to (re-)establish democratic control over digital data and technologies: The first is the enhancement of existing rights and the introduction of new rights suited to the digital era. The second is the reinforcement of democratic control over digital data and infrastructures. These goals cannot be achieved by merely adjusting existing regulatory instruments. Instead, they require a way of conceiving and recognising people’s stakes in data that no longer rests on the classifications of the paper age. Such a new approach to data governance that enables effective democratic control would combine instruments of individual and collective control over data. The chapter concludes by arguing for the treatment of digital infrastructures as public infrastructures that require sustained public investment and effective democratic control.
