Abstract：Technological feudalism, as a new form of contemporary capitalism with strong monopolistic characteristics, seeks to establish a new mode of exploitation that transcends national boundaries and geographical limits through technological monopolies, platform exploitation, and ideological control. Technological feudalism establishes a distinct logic for the proliferation of digital capital by shifting the contents of exploitation from “physical goods” to “virtual data”, disguising the forms of exploitation from “labor exploitation” into “digital exploitation”, expanding the scope of exploitation from “factory spaces” to “the entire society”, and intensifying the degree of exploitation from “physical control” to “ideological control”. In doing so, it carries out predatory labor exploitation on a global scale. The proliferation logic of technological feudalism does not alter the exploitative essence of capitalism. Rather, it contains inherent irreconcilable contradictions, such as increasing the degree of exploitation of individuals, exacerbating social inequality, and causing political polarization within nations. In response to the negative consequences stemming from the proliferation logic of technological feudalism, a comprehensive three-dimensional solution integrating “institutions, technology, and culture” must be constructed in practice, focusing on three key elements: data, platforms, and values. The core of this approach lies in constructing new digital institutions that transcend data monopolies, developing shared technologies that overcome platform lock-ins, and promoting common human values that rise above ideological control. Through these pathways, the proliferation logic of technological feudalism can be dismantled, paving the way for a new era of digital civilization that aligns with the shared needs of all humanity.
