This article explores how competing narratives shape our understanding and governance of digitalisation, focusing on the ideological opposition between Cyberlibertarianism and Digital Humanism. While technological and economic frameworks often dominate public discourse, the underlying narratives that inform these perspectives exert significant influence on policy, societal norms, and democratic possibilities. Cyberlibertarianism promotes a vision of individual freedom rooted in technological autonomy and market deregulation, often marginalising ethical concerns, and reinforcing corporate power. In contrast, Digital Humanism offers a counter-narrative that centres human dignity, democratic participation, and social responsibility in the design and application of digital technologies. The article examines these narratives as ideologically charged patterns of interpretation that structure what is perceived as technologically inevitable or politically possible. It critiques the discursive framing of Cyberlibertarianism, particularly its depoliticisation of democracy and appropriation of emancipatory language, which masks power imbalances and limits public deliberation. Digital Humanism is presented as a necessary ideological intervention that reclaims digital spaces as culturally, ethically, and politically negotiable. Education emerges as a central arena for cultivating critical awareness of these narratives.
