Who governs what a democracy knows? The work of informing the public, long the task of journalism, increasingly runs on digital platforms and AI as well. My research examines these information infrastructures from two sides: (i) how power, dependency, and accountability are distributed within them and (ii) what shapes public support for the policies meant to govern them. This talk introduces studies spanning election information, platform governance and online harm, and public opinion on technology policy. Together, they show that as the public's knowledge comes to depend on systems democracies do not control, power concentrates in fewer hands and accountability becomes harder to locate. My central argument is that this dependency is itself political: who relies on whom for information infrastructure shapes who holds power, from local news to "sovereign AI." The studies also show that public support for governing these systems depends on whom people trust and what they expect of those in control. Methodologically, the work combines quantitative and computational analysis with critical and normative interpretation. I close with implications for studying information infrastructures and the technology policy their governance demands.
