New technologies are rapidly transforming everyday life in almost every corner of our planet. The sheer rapidity of this process causes that they are provoking more and more debates in the public sphere. They also give rise to new paradoxes, for example, in such cases as human body enhancements or modifications, transgender athletes or the use of stem cells in research, which has become even part of political discussions. In addition to that, questions about virtualization, gamification, cybersecurity, big data are also creating a lot of new space for debate on a political level. The new technolo-gies have become a dynamic site of interest across various disciplinary boundaries and the changes will inevitably affect the concept of what is po-litical and what could or could not be done politically. The case of digital vigilantism (DV), analysed in this article, is con-sidered to be one of the best examples for exploring the technological change and transformations it causes.
