How to Govern King Code

Abstract

With the convergence of technical revolutions, the regulating capabilities of code are becoming a threat to our human rights. As this new regulator is as non-transparent and uncontrollable as a metaphorical King in comparison to a democratic parliament, IT-attorney-at-law Wouter Dammers advocates to govern code. However, governance has its own issues, as our current democratic institutions struggle to keep up with technological advancements. Are we left to our (coded) fate? Or is our human intervention still necessary?
