Colonization and Exploitation of Digital Space——Criticism of the Spatial Political Economy of Algorithmic Capitalism
Through the global application of digital technology such as smart devices,platforms,and algorithms,the algorithmic capitalism has expanded the exploitation of capitalism to a wider scope of space,and achieved comprehensive colonization of dig-ital space,which is expressed in the capitalization,empowerment,and ideologization of digital space.In addition,a comprehen-sive and all-round exploitation system,covering real and virtual space,production and living space,local and global space,and fixed and mobile space,is built.Under the control of the"platform+algorithm"hegemony of algorithmic capitalism,digital liv-ing spaces are faced with a serious crisis of unprecedented comprehensive consumerization,acceleration,and atomization.To re-shape justice in digital space,it is essential to focus on ideas,systems,equal rights,ethical design,etc.,and achieve collective ownership,co-construction and sharing of digital space.
