Production of cyber surplus value in digital social media platforms: regulating, commodifying and criminalizing the space

Radical criminology was significant in the late 60s for advocating the illustration of class formation, structure and relation to crime. It has been considered that crime and criminality are not innate to individuals but their social circumstances. A specific mode of production ensures a specific form of society with a particular structure and functioning, thus also exists with spacing the crime and criminality. Henceforth the crime scene in late capitalism provides the virtual ground that carries a latent space for experiencing criminality. It comprises the newer classes and switches to the newer form of class struggle. In this struggle, the recognized space is occupied by the bourgeoisie group, and the remaining unwanted, unrecognized space becomes a compulsion to the proletariat. A particular group exploits the other group by tagging some particular behavior as evil, deviant, and criminality through digital content. It contextualizes the commodification of 'human behavior' that results in newer class formation. It is now a regularly consumable product that comprises social and economic values through the social mediation of different virtual institutions (Whats app, Facebook, YouTube etc.) by their popular naming figure and representatives. These contents project everyday morality, craving for hedonism, and many such lucrative products that extend the context of digital consumerism. Therefore, the structure of capitalism results in two significant ways; the desire for consumption and the inability to mitigate the necessary pricing, which they are taught to want. It leads to more marginalization of certain classes, which is conducive to committing crimes.
