    Has anyone coined a term like “digital imperialism”? I think it’s quite fitting.

      Iannis Varoufakis (there’s probably 2+ typos there) has coined something like digital feudalism.

      I think it makes more sense when imperialism is between countries like in this case, but if you get rid of imperialism you still have feudalism between the tech companies and the users of their monopolistic products, on their terms.
