"Strategic Compliance":The Latent Scripts and Reversal Rituals of Social Media Platform Users
Within the chain regulatory system of"government-platform-user",the governance re-sponsibilities of social media platform are implemented through a series of publicly issued platform regu-lations,extending a priori rationality into the digital space.Simultaneously,the latent scripts composed of users'discourse,behaviors,and practices are becoming increasingly refined in backstage interac-tions.This evolution transforms the governance dynamics from a homogeneous,dominant force into a continuous formation of dynamic relationships.Taking Sina Weibo as a case study,users'"strategic compliance"manifests in three distinct dimensions:performing deferential scripts while developing la-tent scripts to maintain self-dignity;adapting to platform admission thresholds while exposing hidden governance strategies;and reversing the governance rituals through periodic public inquiries.These on-going tacit negotiations and mutual adaptations shape the dynamic interactions between users and plat-forms,as well as among users themselves,weaving a multi-dimensional,decentralized"digital com-mons"space.This highlights the potential for pluralistic commonality within social media platforms.
