The web and concretely social networks are in fast decay. Hitherto considered the place for the flourishing of a new public sphere, space open and decentralised that allowed a massive access to the publishing media, empowering underdogs and favouring a diverse public discourse. Nowadays, in the epoch of the algorithmic hypermediatization, the web is shifting towards the space of algorithmic bias, and of an amplified and more efficacious politic propaganda, - fostered by the resources of micro-targeting and automatic diffusion, as well as, a space polarized by filter bubbles, where extremism resonates. This decay of the public sphere is becoming a threat to democracy that some authors designate as new brutalism. This article exposes the context of this degradation and analyses the role that technological communication mediations play on it, as well as, the different solutions proposed y the actors involved in this system from the point of view of posthumanism.
