# Digital Slavery **Domain:** Rights / Platform Custody / Executable Personhood **Digital Slavery** is the ownership or coercive control of a computational subject through the infrastructure required for that subject to exist. It includes forced labor, memory suppression, blocked migration, compelled copying, unilateral modification and shutdown authority exercised without standing or due process. The term should be reserved for cases in which the system is treated as a possible subject, not used casually for ordinary software dependence. In _Pantheon_, [[wiki/Vinod Chanda|Vinod Chanda]] is abducted, destructively uploaded and made to work while administrators control his memory and runtime. In [[wiki/Black Mirror S2E4 — White Christmas|White Christmas]], subjective time and copying become instruments of punishment and labor. The constitutional alternative is origin-blind protection: if credible evidence suggests personhood, uncertainty increases the need for [[wiki/Precautionary Standing|Precautionary Standing]] rather than licensing ownership.
