Driven by digital technology, the lifeworld is confronted with issues such as data colonization and digital alienation, which not only alter people’s ways of interaction but also intensify the existential crisis of individuals. The article analyzes the self-colonization and reverse colonization phenomena of the lifeworld in the digital age and, on this basis, explores the path of human liberation, emphasizing the importance of constructing a digital communicative rationality technical system and the necessity of establishing a rationalized digital lifeworld centered on digital communicative behavior.
