Techno-feudalism is when big tech companies become the new feudal lords, and we — their digital vassals.
They don’t just sell services — they own the platforms we use to talk, work, and shop. And they set the rules.
🔒 We don’t have control
Your Facebook or Google account isn’t really yours. It can be blocked at any moment.
Even your personal data doesn’t belong to you.
💸 They earn from rent, not value creation
Apple takes a cut from every App Store purchase, Amazon from every seller.
It’s like paying a toll just to access someone else’s digital land.
🧠 Algorithms control attention
TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram decide what we see.
This isn’t real freedom of choice — it’s guided behavior.
This isn’t classic capitalism anymore.
It’s a system where power is concentrated in a few platforms —
and it’s starting to look a lot like feudalis
