Abstract

Digital platforms that enable two-sided markets—Google, Facebook, Amazon, and Twitter, among others—are, to understate the case, the object of significant and growing critical attention. Their economic, social, political, and cultural power has become a source of disquiet. A concern that is only heightened by the certainty that some of the companies’ activities have been exploited by hostile intelligence and security services.
