Short Definition
Technocapitalism refers to the economic and social system where technology, particularly digital innovation, is driven by profit-seeking motives and capital interests.
Relevance
Understanding technocapitalism is key to grasping how digital technologies and platforms are often shaped by capitalist goals, prioritizing profit over equity and social justice. This framework impacts Black, Indigenous, and disability justice as communities become further exploited under tech systems that profit from their data, labor, and creativity while ignoring their needs.
