In the movement of law from textual media to digital media, the importance of text-driven law is changing. A new morality is emerging. It brings an opportunity for moral norms to influence the law. The structure of the state will also change, as algorithm-controlled government differs from the previous personally-designed state powers. The law is affected: first, as to its interpretation, which results in legal acts being influenced by non-legal standards, and, second, as the new norms take effect. The new standards affect electronic virtuality, from which the law has previously kept away.
