In the networked twenty-first century, digital platforms have
significantly influenced capital accumulation and digital culture.
Platforms, such as social network sites (e.g. Facebook), search
engines (e.g. Google), and smartphones (e.g. iPhone), are
increasingly crucial because they function as major digital media
intermediaries. Emerging companies in non-Western countries have
created unique platforms, controlling their own national markets
and competing with Western-based platform empires in the global
markets. The reality though is that only a handful of Western
countries, primarily the U.S., have dominated the global platform
markets, resulting in capital accumulation in the hands of a few
mega platform owners. This book contributes to the platform
imperialism discourse by mapping out several core areas of platform
imperialism, such as intellectual property, the global digital
divide, and free labor, focusing on the role of the nation-state
alongside transnational capital.
