  and epistemic standards for communication have been discussed since antiq
 uity.  And since antiquity they have periodically been disrupted by techno
 logical innovations\, then revised and reinforced by cultural and latterly
  by legal and regulatory measures.  However\, the transformations produced
  by the mushrooming growth of digital technologies in the late twentieth c
 entury\, which has coincided with growing globalisation and the declining 
 regulatory capacities of states\, may prove particularly challenging.  The
 se technologies were initially seen as extending possibilities for communi
 cation in ways that would support democracy and wider civic participation.
   The promise has not been sustained.\n
