The internet and social media have profoundly altered the informational environment of liberal democracies in the 21st century. Much of the response to these developments by political science scholars and mainstream political commentators is pessimistic and reflects a deep pessimism about the judgment of lay citizens that is at odds with support for liberal democracy. This pessimism, in turn, has driven many to embrace illiberal public policies and views of good citizenship. I argue that these trends are both unjustified and worrisome, as they are likely to undermine society's collective ability to improve its knowledge and discover illegitimate authority. Instead of viewing the judgment of lay citizens as a liability to liberal democracy, we ought to view it as one of its foundational assets. Accordingly, we ought to view the impact of 21st century communications technologies in a more optimistic light and support public policies and models of good citizenship that encourage citizens to engage in the informational environment with assertiveness and confidence.
