The article starts with a brief reconstruction of current legal framework about direct and participatory democracy, as well as practice of decision-making sharing in political parties (think of primary elections and Rousseau platform). Then, it deals with risks of manipulation of consensus and perturbation of traditional model of political parties coming from political digital communication. Finally, it dwells on regulatory solutions passed both by Italian and UE lawmakers, besides some suggestions in a de iure condendo perspective.
