Abstract

Martin M*

The Technologies of Information and Communication (TIC) are responsible for the development of innovative paradigms. Thus, the Internet allows users to communicate by overcoming geographical frontiers. This access to everything and everyone also opens on another phenomenon like, for some users, to invest themselves in missions usually reserved for experts. This is the prescriptive roles that arrogate to themselves certain groups of users who then try to take the place of agencies duly authorized to act in a particular subject area.
