摘要
在信息时代,数字资本是数字技术与传统资本紧密结合诞生的全新产物,数据是其最重要的生产资料。通过数字劳动将数据转化为商品后,在生产和流通过程中的资本化就产生了数字资本。数字资本通过对用户数字劳动产生的剩余价值进行无偿占有而不断积累,其表现形式为互联网平台对行业数据的垄断,主要通过“零工经济”“产销型劳动”等形式攫取剩余价值。平台对其两端——生产和消费、内容生产者和受众——进行最大程度的剥削,导致其他实体行业发展空间被极度压缩。平台数字资本的垄断性对数据所有权和隐私保护带来极大的挑战,迫使人们依赖数字化的生产和消费方式,导致人类的生活面临着数字化的异化可能。
In the information age,digital capital is a brand-new product born from the close combination of digital technology and traditional capital,with data being its most important means of production.After transforming data into commodities through digital labour,digital capital is generated through capitalization in the production and circulation process.Digital capital accumulates through the gratuitous possession of the surplus value generated by users’digital labor,which is manifested in the form of the Internet platform’s monopoly of industry data,mainly through the“casual economy”and“production and sales-oriented labor”and other forms of seizing surplus value.Platforms maximize the exploitation of both ends of the spectrum-production and consumption,content producers and audiences-leading to an extreme compression of the development space of other real industries.The monopoly of platforms’digital capital poses great challenges to data ownership and privacy protection,forcing people to rely on digitized modes of production and consumption,and exposing human life to the potential of digital alienation.
