The Deep Logic Decovering of Hidden Digital Exploitation in Digital Labor——Taking Social Platform Labor as an Example
Social platform labor is a special form of digital labor,which refers to a new type of labor in which users produce digital products without compensation while using social platform services.As the influence of social platforms continues to grow,people are gradually realizing that there may be covert exploitation in social platform labor,which stems from users'cognitive biases about the digital labor they engage in.The first is"I choose".Potential users actively choose to become platform users based on the services provided by the platform,and users will overlook their role as producers while identifying themselves as consumers.Sec-ondly,"I profit",users focus on the services provided by the platform,but ignore the unequal operation rights between the plat-form and the users for data labor products.Lastly,"I need",users focus on the experience of using the platform,but ignore the dependency caused by the platform,and ultimately,they are dominated by the social platforms.In other words,the complexity of social platform labor leads to the cognitive deviation of users,and this deviation is deepened under the drive of platform capital log-ic,which makes the digital exploitation become secret.Therefore,uncovering the deep logic of covert digital exploitation will be-come a prerequisite for the moral condemnation of covert digital exploitation in the labor of social platforms.
