Behind the Algorithm: How Technofascism Lies in the Shadows of Technological Advancements

What happens when the technologies designed to “personalize” and improve the optimization of our lives begin to mirror the tactics historically associated with fascist systems? In this article, Dorigen Gray explores the concept of technofascism and the hidden relationship between AI, algorithmic governance and application, and authoritarian forms of control. By examining the automation of behaviour, the control of information, and the growing concentration of technological and political power, the article reveals how modern technologies can quietly shape human experience, undermine democratic discourse, and normalize systems of domination beneath the promise of innovation and technological progress.
