A term for the condition of being bound to digital platforms for essential services—work, communication, commerce, social life—under terms entirely controlled by platform owners. Digital slavery is not physical bondage but functional: you cannot opt out without losing access to the infrastructure of modern life. Your ability to work depends on a rating you cannot contest; your social life depends on a platform that can delete your account; your access to news depends on an algorithm you cannot see. Freedom is reduced to choosing which master to serve.
Digital Slavery Example: "She wanted to leave the platform, but her professional network, her banking, and her housing all required it—digital slavery, choice without exit."

Get the Digital Slavery mug.A totalizing condition where every dimension of life—work, housing, health, movement, speech, relationships—is mediated by algorithmic systems that subject individuals to automated control, surveillance, and punishment without recourse. Digital hyperslavery extends beyond labor to encompass social credit, algorithmic redlining, predictive policing, and automated administrative decisions. The subject is not owned by a single master but governed by a distributed system of platforms, each enforcing the others’ demands, and from which there is no exit because the infrastructure of society is the infrastructure of control.
Digital Hyperslavery Example: "His rating on one app determined his insurance premium; his insurance premium determined his housing options; his housing options determined his ability to work. Digital hyperslavery: a closed loop of algorithmic determination."
