AB - This study analyzes the “post-truth” phenomenon not merely as an epistemic crisis but as a structural outcome of “techno-feudalism,” a new political-economic order dominated by digital platforms. Big Tech’s control over cloud capital and algorithmic power commodifies truth by privatizing “general intellect” to establish a rent-seeking profit model. In this process, truth degrades into platform-manipulated information products. This structure colludes with mechanisms such as emotional mobilization, echo chambers, and filter bubbles to threaten the public sphere. Consequently, this study proposes a rethinking of truth, liberation, and the common good within Christian social ethics, highlighting the “right of access to truth” as a core ethical mandate. Ultimately, the paper contends that Christian social ethics must evolve into a “critical social ethics” capable of resisting the rentier power structures of techno-feudalism and addressing the structural concealment of truth.
