Technofeudalism is an economic and social system where tech giants like Amazon, Google, and Facebook hold unprecedented control over data, wealth, and influence. Unlike traditional capitalism, where competition drives markets, technofeudalism is marked by a few powerful companies that act as "digital landlords." They control platforms, dictate terms, harvest user data, and create dependency on their services—shaping everything from consumer habits to political opinions.
