The Silicon Valley para-jurisdiction

Abstract

There is a place where justice works beyond the law: Silicon Valley. It is a space that surpasses the physical, in which another language reigns and this one precedes the aforementioned law: the code. There live together, everywhere and nowhere, actors who use unprecedented neologisms that reveal a para-jurisdiction that works without permission. In the task of reconciling the legal with computer science, situations and opposing ideas that open up a whole new ecosystem are exposed. There is a curious dissociation between those who legislate and those who are subjects of the legislation, with undetected glimpses of a new injustice that, in an impulse of self-composition, adopts solutions on its own from a computer logic, satirizing law and justice almost with remnants of contempt.
