The term 'The Platform Society' was coined to explain how various offline activities have shifted to an online environment, creating platform environments and spaces. These platforms form part of global platform ecosystems, with American and Chinese ecosystems dominated by major tech companies. The American platform ecosystem, which is prevalent in Europe and the US, is constructed by large online platforms such as social media, app stores, and search engines, leading to an increasing dependency on this ecosystem. The speaker argues that these ecosystems should be governed and controlled democratically, rather than being dominated by a few opaque and centralized tech companies. They advocate for reorganizing and reflecting on the architecture of public online spaces, promoting principles such as open source, nonprofit governance, and community moderation.
