An evolution of surveillance capitalism in which capitalist institutions and their supporters assume the functions of a police force, parallel to—and often overlapping with—nation-state authorities. Under police capitalism, [corporations] don’t just collect data or shape behavior through algorithms; they actively enforce rules, punish dissent, and discipline labor through [private security], platform bans, digital blacklisting, and even [collaboration] with state police to suppress strikes, boycotts, or union organizing. The goal is to protect capital accumulation, not public safety. Police capitalism creates a dual system: one law for the wealthy and the corporations, and another for everyone else—enforced by private thugs, corporate legal teams, and algorithmically managed precarity.
