DIGITAL COLONIALISM @ IMPAKT Jan 25th
Digital Colonialism, unlike its historical counterpart, is not confined to a specific global region; instead, it utilises technology as a tool for exploitation and profit generation. Big Tech giants such as Facebook, Google, and Amazon are at the forefront, capitalising on the extraction of data, turning our private information into profitable advertisements. In addition to data mining for profit, big-tech companies exploit weaker judicial foundations in developing countries, extracting natural resources such as Cobalt and Lithium necessary for digital technology.
