Purpose: People are increasingly adhering to social networking platforms (SNP), and this adhesion is often unreflective, which makes them alienate data, actions, and decisions to tech giants. This essay discusses what happens when, eventually, someone chooses to cancel their participation in a large SNP. Methodology/design: This is a theoretical essay, whose narrative resembles a theoretical-empirical manuscript, grounded on the author's experience and his subjective perceptions regarding being out of the WhatsApp (nowadays, the main SNP instance in the world). Findings/highlights: This study proposes a definition and implications of the supposedly new "digital near-death experience" concept, a metaphor for the classic near-death experience (NDE). A research agenda is also proposed. Limitations: The resulting propositions are grounded on a set of assumptions, that if falsified, make the findings invalid.
翻译：目的:人们越来越坚持社交网络平台(SNP),而这种粘合往往不具有反感性,使他们疏远数据、行动和决定,让技术巨人使用。本论文讨论了最终某人选择取消参与大型SNP时会发生什么情况。方法/设计:这是一个理论论文,其叙述类似于理论经验手稿,基于作者的经验和他对于退出“什么”的主观看法(如今,世界上的SNP主要实例)。结果/亮点:本研究报告提出了所谓的“数字近死经验”概念的定义和含义,这是典型的“近死经验”的隐喻。还提出了一个研究议程。 限制:由此产生的主张基于一套假设,如果被篡改,结果就会无效。
