Vectorialism as a new vector of information control and algorithmic censorship

Moore’s Law symbolizes the exponential acceleration of technology; every two years the number of transistors on chips would increase by 100%, at the same cost. which has not only brought advancements but also created a new domain of power—vectorism, in which digital giants control infrastructure, data, and consequently, presence and influence in the public sphere. This power is brutally revealed when people are simply eliminated, without justification or recourse. The case of historian Jones Manoel, whose Instagram profile was removed without explanation last year, erasing years of work, is a striking example of this vectorism in operation. This text investigates the workings of this new paradigm of domination.
