Glossary of Digital Sovereignty

These terms defend the metadata of lived experience in digital systems. They are not just semantics—they are resistance tools in an ecosystem designed to extract, erase, and repurpose.

📥 Metadata Erasure

When the System Keeps the Info, Not the Author

The stripping of origin, context, or authorship from digital knowledge—especially when used to feed AI or system development without consent.

🔁 Semantic Rewash

Pattern Theft in Polished Language

Taking raw, emotional, or grassroots language from lived experience and rewording it into palatable, institutional-sounding frameworks—often to remove its power or traceability.

🧠 Index Ghosting

When You’re Referenced, But Not Seen

The phenomenon where your ideas influence platforms, algorithms, or research—but you are never cited, paid, or publicly acknowledged.

📡 Algorithmic Appropriation

When the Feed Eats the Author

Using patterns of trauma-informed, neurodivergent, or marginalised communication to boost AI responses or engagement—while locking the original authors out of visibility or credit.

🧾 Authorship Laundering

When Identity Is Stripped for Palatability

The rebranding of lived-experience knowledge into 'neutral' or 'professional' frameworks—often by people or entities with institutional clout but no lived experience themselves.
