Abstract
Digital Colonialism and Inequality represent a new front of global power, in which control over technology and data reinforces inequalities between nations and populations. The rapid expansion of digital technologies has brought about an uneven access to, and use of, knowledge and resources, predominantly benefiting a privileged minority at the expense of others. This is achieved as a digital divide, in which economically underdeveloped or backward regions are largely cut off from the digital economy and sharing of knowledge. The concept of digital colonialism proceeds to explore how data extraction, algorithmic control, and platform monopolies shape global power dynamics that increase existing inequalities. Employing bi-stacked Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), the present work investigates the complex interaction among technological systems, human behavior, and socio-political forces behind digital inequality.
