As the Internet has become more prevalent in our lives, tech companies easily make use of users' online activities as monetizable commodities. This can be sold by <a class="text" href="#bigcorporations">big tech corporations <span class="text-hover">giving them direct power over political, economic and cultural domains of life</span></a>, users become digital workers of companies who use their <a class="text" href="#digitallabour">digital labour</a> freely to extract data through their online activities. This relationship between companies and users are inequitable, feels exploitative, and unfair. Interestingly, all of this shows similarities to the appropriating of human life, dispossessing natural resources, and dominating economics by indoctrinating and monopolizing manipulation in colonial times.

Unlike a historical colony that was bounded mostly by geographical locations, a digital colony has no physical borders. There are no geographical locations, there are only IP addresses, domain names, and user's data. Therefore, digital colonialism expands by exploiting more layers of human life itself through the use of technology<a id="reference-number" href="#1" class="text">[1]<span class="text-hover">(Couldry, 2019)</span></a>.</li>

<li><a name="analysis"></a><strong>WORD ANALYSIS</strong> is very important because of <a class="text" href="#obfuscation">obfuscation of language</a> in ToS. Usually ToS are made with polite and generic language to deceive users. By using these general terms, those big tech companies try to wash their hands of responsibility and disclaim their liability to back up themselves. Similarly to the language of ToS, the terminology in treaties are phrased in an equivocally circuitous manner that it's indirect. Therefore, vernaculars used in English ToS, which has similarities to <a class="text" href="#colonialtreaties">colonial treaties</a> will be discovered by analyzing the words that were used during this period.</li><br>
<br><br>
<li><a name="obfuscation"></a><strong>OBFUSCATION OF LANGUAGE</strong>: <a class="text" href="#tos">Terms of Service</a> tend to obfuscate its meaning of contexts by having a way too long texts, so that users don't read them and just click accept. Usually, ToS are written in impenetrable legalise, intentionally vague and generic language that designed to make it impossible to deceive users. During colonial times, obfuscation of language was happening in <a class="text" href="#colonialtreaties">colonial treaties</a> as well. </li><br>
<li><a name="digitallabour"></a><strong>Digital labour</strong> is a concept that has become a crucial foundation of discussions within the realm of the political economy of the Internet (Burston, Dyer-Witheford and Hearn 2010; Fuchs and Dyer-Witheford 2013; Scholz 2012). During the development of Internet, people started making use of the Internet as a profitable space by strategically taking data from users <a class="text">online activities<span class="text-hover-top">These online activities can be defined as digital labour, such as simply browsing the Internet, being active in social networking sites, microblogs or content sharing sites related to leisure activities</span></a>. In this way, users automatically contribute to the profitability of companies in the digital space through non-reciprocally made consent by users who unwittingly clicked <a class="text" href="#tos">Terms of Services</a>. </li>
<br><br>
<li><a name="colonialtreaties"></a><strong>COLONIAL TREATIES</strong> are known as agreements, pacts and major contracts made between countries during colonial times. It was a formally concluded agreement between a colonizer and a colony, these treaties are a binding formal agreement that establishes obligations between two or more subjects. Most of the time, colonial treaties were coercively made by a colonizer. It was very common that colonial treaties were slanted in favour of the colonizer, and pushed to sign it without knowing that sovreignty or jurisdiction will be infringed. One of the example would be, <a class="text">a treaty of Ganghwa Island<span class="text-hover-img"><img src="img/ganghwa.jpg" ></span></a> made between Japanese and Korean. They used a term called 'Unequal treaty' to refer that the treaty had generally regarded as an unequal treaty coerced by Japan. By doing so, the Empire of Japan had a full control over rullig Korean Empire <a id="reference-number" href="#2" class="text">[2]<span class="text-hover">(Duus, 1998):The Abacus and the Sword: The Japanese Penetration of Korea. University of California Press</span></a>.</li><br>
<li><a name="textpublishingarchive"></a><strong>DIGITAL TEXT PUBLISHING ARCHIVE</strong> means a digital (repository) infrastructure of text material that I desire to keep for a long-term preservation. It is evident that not much of digital material will survive<a id="reference-number" href="#3" class="text">[3]<span class="text-hover">(Zelkowitz, 2003): Advances in Computers: Information Repositories edited by Marvin Zelkowitz</span></a>. Archiving is important in digital age as a preservation tool because of perpetual changes in digital platform. This platform archives collections of related informations about my project including news articles, videos, books, tweets ... to proffer knowledges I gleaned from the web. The archive will contain different analyzations on the modern-colonial words and contexts. </li>
<br><br>
<li><a name="digitalcolonialsociety"></a><strong>DIGITAL COLONIAL SOCIETY</strong>: It is a concept based on <a class="text" href="#digitalsociety">a digital society <span class="text-hover">that every aspect of lives is profoundly being affected by the domination of digital technology</span></a> where user's online behavior becomes monetisable commodity to be sold by <a class="text" href="#bigcorporations">big corporations<span class="text-hover">giving them direct power over political, economic and cultural domains of life</span></a>, and users don't properly get paid. This ingenious ways of extracting cheap labour from users show similar ways of exploitating natural/human resources in colonial times.
<li><a name="analysis"></a><strong>WORD ANALYSIS</strong> is very important because of the <a class="text" href="#obfuscation">obfuscation of language</a> in ToS. Usually ToS are made with polite and generic language to deceive users. By using these general terms, those big tech companies try to wash their hands of responsibility and disclaim their liability to back up themselves. Similarly to the language of ToS, the terminology in treaties are phrased in an equivocally circuitous manner that it's indirect.</li>
<br><br>
<a class="text">(+)<span class="text-hover-top">Although it is clear that the modes, intensities, scales, and contexts of today's digital colonialism are distinctive from the historical colonialism, the underlying power structures remain the same (Couldry, 2019)</span></a> Of course, this doesn't mean that the transformation of colonialism has done fully identical. Unlike a historical colony that was bounded mostly by geographical locations, a digital colony has no physical borders. There are no geographical locations, there are only IP addresses, domain names, and user's data. Therefore, digital colonialism expands by exploiting more layers of human life itself through the use of technology (Couldry, 2019).
<li><strong>Resemblance of Terms of Service and colonial treaties</strong>: I insist that we are subject to be oblivious to these details in ToS agreements, although we all know of their existence. Everywhere on website you consistently have to click 'agree' or 'yes' to use the service provided from companies. Seeing ToS as modern working contract is urgent because it is apparent that companies are deliberately "hiring" users to let them join the forcefully produced labour farm.

<h1>Important Aspects</h1>
<br>
<ul class="indent" style="padding-left: 30px;">
<strong>As a contract aspect</strong>
<li>Lots of treaties were sneakily made contract in colonial era to be lucrative, to get profit out of their colony. Same for ToS or privacy policies in digital corporate society where the big companies are dominating the power structures via making a contract to deceive users.</li>
<br>
<strong>As a linguistic aspect</strong>
<li><strong>Language as a colonial tool</strong>: Treaties in colonial times and Terms of Service in modern time both are to show a way to indoctrinate/manipulate the colonize subject by language.</li>
<li><strong>Polarity of calming language</strong>: Using their comfort language become a colonial language. Comforting language for the company that are using highly polarized terms sometimes obfuscates or conceal users' labour to deceive them.</li>
<li><strong>Language as a colonial waterway</strong>: Shiproute in colonial times are used to sail to exchange goods, extract sources, and import labours. Through Language as a colonial waterway, it became a medium by which to interface with the colonizer.</li>
<li><strong>Language as a colonial language</strong>:Using a language that you're porting into the colony in order to be able to extract the resources. (ex, Japanese forced Korean to speak Japanese) </li><br>

<ul>
<li><a name="hyryc"></a><strong>HAVE YOU READ YOUR CONTRACT?</strong> is a <a class="text" href="#textpublishingarchive">digital text archiving tool</a> that offers a comparative reading application in the modern-colonial contexts of <a class="text" href="#tos">'Terms of Service (ToS)'</a>. It allows users making unreadable legal documents readable by offering two types of objective texts such as Terms of Services and historical colonial treaties to experience how regulatory terms in neutral documents play in colonialism. This project opens up a discussion to suggest making the resemblance of <a class="text" href="#colonialtreaties">colonial treaties</a> in historical colonialism to the digital society by mapping out the whole architecture of language used in ToS compared with historical colonial treaties.</li>
<br><br>
<li><a name="digitalcolonialsociety"></a><strong>DIGITAL COLONIAL SOCIETY</strong>is a concept based on a <a class="text" href="#digitalsociety">digital society <span class="text-hover">that every aspect of lives is profoundly being affected by the domination of digital technology</span></a> where colonial heritages are omnipresent. As the Internet has become more prevalent in our lives, tech companies easily make use of users' online activities as monetizable commodities. This can be sold by <a class="text" href="#bigcorporations">big tech corporations <span class="text-hover">giving them direct power over political, economic and cultural domains of life</span></a>, users become digital workers of companies who use their <a class="text" href="#digitallabour">digital labour</a> freely to extract data through their online activities. This relationship between companies and users are inequitable, feels exploitative, and unfair. Interestingly, all of this shows similarities to the appropriating of human life, dispossessing natural resources, and dominating economics by indoctrinating and monopolizing manipulation in colonial times.
<br><br>
<ul class="indent">
<a class="text">(+)<span class="text-hover-top">Although it is clear that the modes, intensities, scales, and contexts of today's digital colonialism are distinctive from the historical colonialism, the underlying power structures remain the same (Couldry, 2019)</span></a> Of course, this doesn't mean that the transformation of colonialism has done fully identical. Unlike a historical colony that was bounded mostly by geographical locations, a digital colony has no physical borders. There are no geographical locations, there are only IP addresses, domain names, and user's data. Therefore, digital colonialism expands by exploiting more layers of human life itself through the use of technology<a id="reference-number" href="#1" class="text">[1]<span class="text-hover">(Couldry, 2019)</span></a>.</li>
</ul>
<br><br>
<li><a name="digitallabour"></a><strong>DIGITAL LABOUR</strong> is a concept that has become a crucial foundation of discussions within the realm of the political economy of the Internet (Burston, Dyer-Witheford and Hearn 2010; Fuchs and Dyer-Witheford 2013; Scholz 2012). During the development of Internet, people started making use of the Internet as a profitable space by strategically taking data from users <a class="text">online activities<span class="text-hover-top">These online activities can be defined as digital labour, such as simply browsing the Internet, being active in social networking sites, microblogs or content sharing sites related to leisure activities</span></a>. In this way, users automatically contribute to the profitability of companies in the digital space through non-reciprocally made consent by users who unwittingly clicked <a class="text" href="#tos">Terms of Services</a>. </li>
<br><br>
<li><a name="textpublishingarchive"></a><strong>DIGITAL TEXT PUBLISHING ARCHIVE</strong> means a digital (repository) infrastructure of text material that I desire to keep for a long-term preservation. It is evident that not much of digital material will survive<a id="reference-number" href="#3" class="text">[3]<span class="text-hover">(Zelkowitz, 2003): Advances in Computers: Information Repositories edited by Marvin Zelkowitz</span></a>. Archiving is important in digital age as a preservation tool because of perpetual changes in digital platform. This platform archives collections of related informations about my project including news articles, videos, books, tweets ... to proffer knowledges I gleaned from the web. The archive will contain different analyzations on the modern-colonial words and contexts. </li>
<br><br>
<li><a name="analysis"></a><strong>WORD ANALYSIS</strong> is very important because of the <a class="text" href="#obfuscation">obfuscation of language</a> in ToS. Usually ToS are made with polite and generic language to deceive users. By using these general terms, those big tech companies try to wash their hands of responsibility and disclaim their liability to back up themselves. Similarly to the language of ToS, the terminology in treaties are phrased in an equivocally circuitous manner that it's indirect.</li>
<br><br>
<li><a name="resemblance"></a><strong>Resemblance of Terms of Service and colonial treaties</strong>: I insist that we are subject to be oblivious to these details in ToS agreements, although we all know of their existence. Everywhere on website you consistently have to click 'agree' or 'yes' to use the service provided from companies. Seeing ToS as modern working contract is urgent because it is apparent that companies are deliberately "hiring" users to let them join the forcefully produced labour farm.
<br><br>
<li><a name="tos"></a><strong>TERMS OF SERVICE (TOS)</strong> is also known as 'Terms of Use' or 'Terms and Conditions', commonly abbreviated as 'ToS' are the legal agreements between a service provider and a person who wants to use that service. This means that Terms of service forms the entire agreement between You and the Company regarding the use of the service. Terms of Services are way too long that users don't read them and just click accept. This Terms of service agreement has been created with the help of <a class="text" href="https://app.termsfeed.com/download/free?agreement_type=TC&token=4687b8bf6d64d334e89197146ee96509" target="_blank">Terms of service Generator</a>.</li><br>

<li>are written in a way that renders them functionally useless to most users with impenetrable legalese terms.</li>
<li>equivocate on the question of who you are selling the data or what they are sharing with.</li>
<li>obfuscate the meaning of the context.</li>
<li>are being as opaque as possible about their intentions.</li>
<li>are way too long that users don't read them and just click accept.</li>
<li>Mislead users on their true intentions.</li>
<li>The power of ToS is equvalent of the length of Terms of Service.</li>
</ul>
<br><br>
<li><a name="colonialtreaties"></a><strong>COLONIAL TREATIES</strong> are known as agreements, pacts and major contracts made between countries during colonial times. It was a formally concluded agreement between a colonizer and a colony, these treaties are a binding formal agreement that establishes obligations between two or more subjects. Most of the time, colonial treaties were coercively made by a colonizer. It was very common that colonial treaties were slanted in favour of the colonizer, and pushed to sign it without knowing that sovreignty or jurisdiction will be infringed. One of the example would be, <a class="text">a treaty of Ganghwa Island<span class="text-hover-img"><img src="img/ganghwa.jpg" ></span></a> made between Japanese and Korean. They used a term called 'Unequal treaty' to refer that the treaty had generally regarded as an unequal treaty coerced by Japan. This gave extraterritorial rights to Japanese citizens in Korea, and forced the Korean government to open 3 ports to Japan.<a id="reference-number" href="#2" class="text">[2]<span class="text-hover">(Duus, 1998):The Abacus and the Sword: The Japanese Penetration of Korea.

</ul>
<br><br>
<li><a name="obfuscation"></a><strong>OBFUSCATION OF LANGUAGE</strong>: <a class="text" href="#tos">Terms of Service</a> tends to obfuscate its meaning of contexts by having a way too long texts, so that users don't read them and just click accept. Usually, ToS are written in impenetrable legalise, intentionally vague and generic language that designed to make it impossible to deceive users. During colonial times, obfuscation of language was happening in colonial treaties as well<a id="reference-number" href="#4" class="text">[4]<span class="text-hover">Article: Terms And Conditions Are The Biggest Lie Of Our Industry</span></a>.</li>
<br><br>
<li><a name="colonialism"></a><strong>THE IDEA OF COLONIALISM</strong> seems to be an eternal loop that comes back throughout history. The colonial heritage is omnipresent in every part of our lives from education programs, languages, gender and sexuality, religion, fashion, food even in digital sphere too <a id="reference-number" href="#5" class="text" >[5]<span class="text-hover">DiVersions / DiVersions / DiVersies </span></a>. Therefore, it is essential not to ignore that digital colonialism is applicable to every countries regardless of the history.</li>
<br><br>
<li><a name="affilate"></a><strong>AFFILATE</strong> means an entity that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with a party, where "control" means ownership of 50% or more of the shares, equity interest or other securities entitled to vote for election of directors or other managing authority.</li>

<a name="importantaspects"></a><h1>Important Aspects</h1>
<br>
<a name="aspects1"></a><h2>As a contract aspect</h2><br>
<ul class="indent">
<li>Lots of treaties were sneakily made contract in colonial era to be lucrative, to get profit out of their colony. Same for ToS or privacy policies in digital corporate society where the big companies are dominating the power structures via making a contract to deceive users.</li>
</ul>
<br>
<a name="aspects2"></a><h2>As a linguistic aspect</h2><br>
<ul class="indent">
<li><strong>Language as a colonial tool</strong>: Treaties in colonial times and Terms of Service in modern time both are to show a way to indoctrinate/manipulate the colonize subject by language.</li>
<li><strong>Polarity of calming language</strong>: Using their comfort language become a colonial language. Comforting language for the company that are using highly polarized terms sometimes obfuscates or conceal users' labour to deceive them.</li>
<li><strong>Language as a colonial waterway</strong>: Shiproute in colonial times are used to sail to exchange goods, extract sources, and import labours. Through Language as a colonial waterway, it became a medium by which to interface with the colonizer.</li>
<li><strong>Language as a colonial language</strong>:Using a language that you're porting into the colony in order to be able to extract the resources. (ex, Japanese forced Korean to speak Japanese) </li><br>

I used the Python library NLTK to create Part of Speech taggers in order to categorize words in the Terms of Service and the colonial treaties.</li>
<li><strong>NLTK</strong> is a leading platform to work with human language data. It provided this project for classification, tokenization and tagging words.</li>
<li><strong>POS Tagger</strong> is the process of classifying words into their parts of speech and labeling them accordingly in NLTK. It reads text in some language and assigns parts of speech to each word (and other token), such as noun, verb, adjective and more. An alphabetical list of part-of-speech tags used in this project are as followed:</li>
<br>
<li>TO: to</li>
<li>DT: Determiner</li>
<li>IN: Preposition or subordinating conjunction</li>
<li>WDT: Wh-determiner</li>
<li>WP: Wh-pronoun</li>
<li>MD: Modal</li>
<li>PRP: Personal pronoun</li>
<li>CC: Coordinating conjunction</li>
<li>NN: Noun, singular or mass</li>
<li>NNS: Noun, plural</li>
<li>NNPS: Proper noun, singular</li>
<li>NNPS: Proper noun, plural</li>
<li>VB: Verb, base form</li>
<li>VBD: Verb, past tens</li>
<li>VBG: Verb, gerund or present participle</li>
<li>VBN: Verb, past participle</li>
<li>VBP: Verb, non-3rd person singular present</li>
<li>VBZ: Verb, 3rd person singular present</li>
<li>VVD: verb, past tense</li>
<li>JJ: Adjective</li>
<li>JJR: Adjective, comparative</li>
<li>JJS: Adjective, superlative</li>
<li>RB: Adverb</li>
<li>RBR: Adverb, comparative</li>

ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER USER. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this subsections limitations as to a given dispute, claim or request for relief, then such aspect must be severed from the arbitration and brought into the State or Federal Courts located in the State of California.
