Abstract: With the development of the new generation of information technology,digital labor has become one of the important forms of labor in the capitalist society in the 21st century.The theory of alienated labor put forward by Marx more than 100 years ago can still be used to analyze the alienation of digital labor in contemporary capitalist society.The four manifestations of labor alienation analyzed by Marx are embodied in todays digital labor,and are more serious.In terms of the alienation of digital workers and labor products,some digital workers cannot own the copyright of digital products,and digital capitalists have the data of domestic consumers for free.In terms of the alienation between digital workers and the labor process,digital labor is one-sided and housewife oriented,and the labor process is monitored.In terms of the alienation of human nature,digital workers are objectified,lack autonomy,and are dominated by labor tools.In terms of alienation between people,digital workers are atomized and there is a situation of alienation in social media interactions.Under existing conditions,the alienation of digital labor can be abandoned through legislation for data rights confirmation,regular digital detoxification,guiding workers to establish a reasonable labor concept,and further developing science and technology.

Key words: Marx, digital labor, alienation, capitalism
