Summary/Abstract: Introducing new technologies is being slowly presented more and more as a dystopia rather than utopia. The information revolution is understood as the Internet and all further consequences of its existence. It is obvious that social media are becoming the main tool of political communication and social and political activation. Direct communication with the electorate using these means opens politicians to the unprecedented possibilities, but at the same time it raises numerous controversies. ICT technologies have changed the way not only parties act, but also many groups, organizations and associations. The changes also influence many apolitical areas of life, however there should be a political discussion about the possibility of regulations. The examples presented in the text of the further going solutions is supposed to serve as a reflection on the issue of predictability of the consequences of human inventiveness.
