digital exploitation

The exploitation of digital media to unfairly influence the outcome or to create an unjust result. It can be a form of cheating and illicit practices that take advantage of and exploit media users. In some cases, media users are programmed to go viral with misinformation or disinformation. Much like when an arson strikes a match when the conditions are favorable for a wildfire to spread in ways that are most damaging to the environment.
The Russians have learned quickly that they can positively influence the outcome of an election through digital exploitation. much easier than conventional war. Surprisingly they have the help of a large minority of the public who support their candidate right or wrong.

Good exploiters

When gaming you will commonly run into exploiters: (hackers cheaters) and they ruin the game. But there is a group of hackers and cheaters that make the game fun. These exploiters will use cheats to add more content or use funny mods. There are also exploiters who will rival other exploiters. These people are the best types of people as if someone is cheating in your game, they will target that cheater and make the experience for that cheater unenjoyable. You can often find these exploiters in older games like Cod2 where they mod games and make xp lobbies and Trickshot lobbies.
Example 1:
Player 1: There's a cheater in here we should leave.
Player 2: There's another one and He's killing the cheater LETS GO WE GOT ONE OF THE GOOD EXPLOITERS!!

Example two:
Player 1: There's a guy flying around we should leave.
Player 2: He's not killing anyone I think we're fine.
Player 1: Wtf he just spawned a cow.
Player 2: LETS GO HES MAKING AN XP LOBBY!!!

Altruistic Exploiter

A person who offers help seemingly out of the kindness of their heart only to hold it over your head every chance they get.

Someone who threatens to take away things they’ve already given you in order to have control over you.
Stacie gave me her bike 2 months ago without me asking because she didn’t need it and I really needed a bike. She is now demanding I help her remodel her house or she will take it back although it’s already mine, she never struck me as an altruistic exploiter.

Spiritual exploitation whistleblowing is the ethical disclosure of information about abuse, manipulation, coercive control, financial exploitation, sexual exploitation, or psychological harm carried out under the guise of spirituality or spiritual leadership. It functions similarily to whistleblowing in corporations or government, but the power dynamics are spiritual rather than institutional, often involving gurus, healers, teachers, cults, or spiritual organizations.
New Earth leaders share the imperative ethical demand of helping shape context for Spiritual Exploitation Whistleblowing to have a place to land as a needed truth telling process, practice and praxis. The worlds needs more Spiritual Exploitation Whistleblowing to support non-heirarchical paradigms in a post-capitalistic world.

The view that exploitation (getting more value from someone's labor than you return) isn't a simple, naked theft, but is often structured and legitimized by constructed systems. The "contract," the "market wage," the "gig economy app," and the concept of "management share" are all social constructions that define what is considered a "fair exchange," often obscuring and enabling the extraction of surplus value. The system is built to make exploitation look like a transaction.
Example: "The delivery app isn't a robber on the road; it's the Theory of Constructed Exploitation in digital form. It builds a system where drivers are 'independent contractors' (a legal construction), pay for their own gas and repairs, and have no benefits, while the app takes a 30% fee and calls it a 'platform service.' The exploitation is baked into the software's very business model."
