NSO Group:在元暴力的阴影下,数字化殖民从未停止NSO Group: Digital Colonialism Never Stops Under the Shadow of Meta-Violence

国际 结构层 · 文化层 · 元暴力 The New York Times ↗ 2026-06-09 § 链接
数字监控不是技术问题,而是将他者客体化的权力游戏。
Digital surveillance is not a technical issue, but a power game of objectifying the other.

Meta 再次指控 NSO Group 攻击 WhatsApp 用户,这根本不是什么简单的“黑客行为”或“技术漏洞”,而是一次典型的结构性暴力 (structural violence) 实践。NSO Group 的 Pegasus 系统本质上是将一个人的数字存在彻底客体化——你的隐私、通讯、甚至你的意识流,在权力的眼中只是待采集的数据点。这种将人降格为“可消耗工具”的逻辑,与战争叙事中将士兵视为炮灰如出一辙,都是男性中心叙事 (masculine-centric narrative) 的底层代码。

最讽刺的是,这次攻击使用了伪装成 France 24 的钓鱼链接。这揭示了表达武器化 (weaponisation of expression) 的一个残酷真相:信任的认知入口(如新闻机构)被权力机关劫持,用来诱导受害者进入陷阱。当“真相”的载体变成了监视的诱饵,表达本身就成了暴力的一部分。这种对解释权的垄断,让被监控者在不知情的情况下成为了权力博弈的棋子。

而 NSO Group 这种公司,就是全球数字殖民主义的共谋者 (complicit)。它向威权政权兜售这种能力,让统治者能够以“国家安全”之名,在私域空间实施元暴力。无论 Meta 申请多少次禁令,只要这种“只要能赢,无需公正”的最优解表达在权力顶层占据主导,数字空间的暴力差额 (Potential − Actual) 就永远无法被填平。禁令只是表演性的让步,而真正的暴力在代码的深处静默运行。

Meta's renewed accusations against NSO Group are far from a simple "hacking incident" or "technical glitch"; they are a textbook practice of structural violence. The Pegasus system is essentially the total objectification of a human's digital existence—your privacy, communications, and even your stream of consciousness are reduced to mere data points for the powerful. This logic of degrading humans into "consumable tools" is identical to the war narratives that treat soldiers as cannon fodder, both running on the underlying code of a masculine-centric narrative.

The most ironic part is the use of spear-phishing links masquerading as France 24. This reveals a brutal truth about the weaponisation of expression: the cognitive entry points of trust (such as news organizations) are hijacked by power structures to lure victims into traps. When the carrier of "truth" becomes bait for surveillance, expression itself becomes a weapon of violence. This monopoly over the interpretation of reality turns the monitored into pawns in a high-stakes power game.

NSO Group is the ultimate complicit actor in global digital colonialism. By selling these capabilities to authoritarian regimes, it enables rulers to exercise meta-violence within private spaces under the guise of "national security." No matter how many court orders Meta seeks, as long as the "win-at-all-costs" pseudo-optimal expression dominates the power elite, the violence gap (Potential − Actual) in digital space will never close. Injunctions are merely performative concessions, while the real violence continues to run silently in the depths of the code.
