By looking at the Internet as a specific instance of the fundamental role played by free labour, this essay also tries to highlight the connections between the "digital economy" and what the Italian autonomists have called the "social factory." The "social factory" describes a process whereby "work processes have shifted from the factory to society, thereby setting in motion a truly complex machine." Simultaneously voluntarily given and unwaged, enjoyed and exploited, free labour on the Net includes the activity of building Web sites, modifying software packages, reading and participating in mailing lists, and building virtual spaces on MUDs and MOOs. Far from being an "unreal," empty space, the Internet is animated by cultural and technical labour through and through, a continuous production of value that is completely immanent to the flows of the network society at large.]]> 2023-06-05 07:20:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ZhijieZhang/e3nyr28h2t7ycfne/wish/2614494224 ZhijieZhang https://padlet.com/ZhijieZhang/e3nyr28h2t7ycfne/wish/2614494225 Drawing on a digital ethnography project, this article considers what could be learned about the “infodemic” from existing health information-sharing communities and creators on TikTok and examines the affective spaces of information they cultivate.

The book argues that the rise of the internet and other digital technologies has led to a new form of capitalist exploitation, where workers create value through their online activities. Fuchs begins by providing an overview of Marx's theory of labour, focusing on his concept of "surplus value," then goes on to discuss how this theory relates to the digital economy, arguing that companies like Google, Facebook, and Amazon generate massive amounts of surplus value by collecting data from users and monetizing it through targeted advertising. The book also discusses the ways in which digital technologies have transformed the nature of work, making it more precarious and flexible. Fuchs argues that this shift has led to a growing class of "digital labourers" who are subject to exploitation and low pay.]]> 2023-06-05 07:20:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ZhijieZhang/e3nyr28h2t7ycfne/wish/2614494230 ZhijieZhang https://padlet.com/ZhijieZhang/e3nyr28h2t7ycfne/wish/2614494231 In this book, Astra Taylor explores how the internet has transformed our lives and changed the way we consume media.
