Platform imperialism is a dominant mode of capital accumulation and cultural hegemony facilitated by global digital platforms.[1] Several scholars have identified platform imperialism in political economy, critical cultural studies and media studies. The discourse on platform imperialism includes several core areas, such as intellectual property, the global digital divide, free labor, and the nation-state, focusing on the role of the nation-state alongside transnational capital.[2]
Derivative platform imperialism
[edit]Based on the notion of platform imperialism, several scholars developed specific forms of platform imperialism, such as Netflix Imperialism, Facebook Imperialism, and Amazon's platform imperialism.[3][4]
