| Being digital has become a fundamental attribute and core mechanism of human life and, as a result, digital citizenship has emerged. Digital citizens are the digital incarnation and the digital expression of natural citizens, carrying citizenship, action logic, and the relationships of rights and obligations in digital public life. The imbalance between digital empowerment and technological empowerment has led to the dilemma of institutional dissociation of digital citizens, specifically manifested in the marginalization of digital citizens in the platform framework, the disengagement of digital citizens in the algorithm decision-making, the objectification of digital citizens in the digital control, the disablement of digital citizens in the technological empowerment, and the dehumanization of digital citizens in the technological rationality. The institutional dissociation of digital citizens poses a serious challenge to the equality, freedom and basic rights of citizens as well as to the values of democracy and the rule of law. To eliminate the institutional dissociation of digital citizens, strengthen the legal protection of the rights of digital citizens, and uphold the fairness and justice of digital society, it is necessary to adhere to the principle of "people-oriented" digital rule of law, realize the confirmation of the legality of digital citizenship, build an inclusive and co-governed digital democracy mechanism, and enhance the accomplishment and ability of digital citizens. |
