Etymology
Imperialism comes from the Latin imperium 'command' or 'power', the same root as empire and emperor. A helpful way to remember digital imperialism is to imagine big companies or states building an online 'empire' by controlling platforms, data, and users, which is why the word is used for modern tech or state control.
