  • Theoretical genealogy from Debord's spectacle to Han's psychopolitical internalisation.
  • Analysis of structural vulnerabilities in environmental regulation related to attention collapse.
  • Identification of policy interventions and their limitations in addressing attention fragmentation.
  • Attention fragmentation undermines legal accountability necessary for effective regulation.
  • Identified vulnerabilities include temporal mismatch and monitoring dependency in environmental governance.
  • Emphasizes that legal reforms cannot ensure attention due to the profit-driven nature of platform capitalism.
