The internet is a major part of our lives today. This applies to politics as well, and accordingly, the question of whether it is possible to realize democracy on the internet has arisen. Using the arguments of Hannah Arendt, the paper aims to determine what online democracy should look like. It is argued that the internet's decentralized structure is advantageous because it facilitates the implementation of the Arendtian system of political councils. Due to the character of online political platforms – mainly social media – these political councils should ideally revolve around shared issues that simultaneously create the common world on the internet. At the same time, clear rules need to be laid down for the functioning of these online political councils. Based on Arendt's arguments, it is claimed in the paper that these rules include the principles of mutual promises and covenants on the issues themselves. It is also argued that because Arendt emphasizes the role of appearing in the public sphere, the process of authentication – that is, verifying that there is a concrete person with a physical body behind each online account that wants to actively participate in a particular online political council – is required.

在线民主：将汉娜·阿伦特的民主模式应用于互联网

互联网是我们今天生活的重要组成部分。政治也是如此，因此，网络民主能否实现的问题就出现了。本文旨在利用汉娜·阿伦特的论点来确定在线民主应该是什么样子。有人认为，互联网的去中心化结构是有利的，因为它有利于阿伦特政治委员会制度的实施。由于在线政治平台（主要是社交媒体）的特征，这些政治委员会理想情况下应该围绕共同问题展开，同时在互联网上创建共同世界。与此同时，需要为这些在线政治委员会的运作制定明确的规则。基于阿伦特的论点，论文声称这些规则包括在问题本身上相互承诺和契约的原则。也有人认为，由于阿伦特强调出现在公共领域的作用，因此验证的过程——即验证每个在线帐户背后是否有一个具有身体的具体人想要积极参与特定的在线政治活动理事会 - 是必需的。
