This article critically examines the domination exerted by big digital companies on the current social, economic, and political context of modern societies, with a particular focus on the implications for the proper functioning of democracy. The objective of this article is to introduce and develop the concept of datafeudalism, expose its emergence for the proper functioning of modern societies and democracy, and to propose courses of action to reverse this situation. To achieve this purpose, firstly, the evolution from surveillance capitalism to datafeudalism will be discussed. Secondly, the structures and operating logic of data feudalism will be analyzed. Thirdly, the harmful impacts of datafeudalism on the proper functioning of the democratic systems of the European Union will be examined. Finally, an attempt will be made to outline courses of action that will make it possible to reverse the situation of economic, social and political tyranny exercised by big digital companies through datafeudalism.

Big digital companies have become key elements in economy, communication, education, and politics in 21st century societies. The neutral ideology in their digital platforms, applications, and services, as well as the exponential growth in their activities can be used by world superpowers —especially the United States and China— to implement geostrategical operations, massive social manipulation or influence democratic processes with the objective of increasing their power and dominance over other nations. The aim of this paper is to state the different strategies of digital expansionism performed by the United States and China, and, additionally, to showcase the negative consequences of these strategies on the population and democracies of the European Union. The first section of this paper will define the concepts of digital sovereignty and digital expansionism as well as their importance in 21st century geopolitics. Next, the important role that big digital companies have on digital expansionism will be analysed, and the usage of digital authoritarianism and digital instrumentarianism performed by the United States and China will be further examined. Finally, the negative consequences of the implementation of these methods in the democratic systems of the European Union will be analysed, as well as what possible solutions there might be for said consequences.

La desinformación es uno de los fenómenos que está siendo objeto de especial preocupación por parte de los Estados y de las Instituciones internacionales por las graves consecuencias que una campaña de desinformación puede representar para los fundamentos básicos de un sistema democrático. Se plantea, por ello, la posibilidad de establecer controles que permitan reducir sus efectos. Controles entre los que también se encontraría el recurso al ordenamiento jurídico. Este trabajo se centra en tres aspectos fundamentales: la delimitación del concepto de desinformación respecto de otros similares, la incidencia que una regulación o control puede tener en los derechos fundamentales, esencialmente la libertad de información y, en tercer lugar, las posibles respuestas que el ordenamiento jurídico, y más concretamente el Derecho penal puede ofrecer en estos casos. Finalizando el estudio con el análisis de la cuestionable posibilidad de que la criminalización de la información falsa pudiera ser una solución legítima.
