世界各地的个人都可以使用Airbnb在外国城市租一套公寓，查看Coursera找到一门统计学课程，加入PatientsLikeMe交换关于自己疾病的信息，用优步叫出租车，或者通过Facebook的即时文章阅读新闻。在《平台社会》一书中，Van Dijck、Poell和De Waal对一个互联世界进行了全面分析，在这个世界中，平台已经渗透到社会的核心--扰乱了市场和劳资关系，改变了社会和公民做法，并影响了民主进程。平台社会分析了相互竞争的意识形态体系和相互竞争的社会行为者--市场、政府和公民社会--之间的激烈斗争，问题是谁应该或应该负责在平台社会中锚定公共价值和公共利益。当然，公共价值观包括隐私、准确性、安全和保障；但它们也与更广泛的社会影响有关，如公平、可获得性、民主控制和问责。这些价值观是围绕全球各地社会平台化的斗争的利害关系。平台协会强调了这些斗争是如何在四个私营和公共部门展开的：新闻、城市交通、医疗和教育。其中一些冲突突出了地方层面，例如，个别平台和市议会之间围绕监管的斗争，而另一些冲突则涉及地缘政治层面，即全球市场和(超)国家政府之间发生权力冲突。
Individuals all over the world can use Airbnb to rent an apartment in a foreign city, check Coursera to find a course on statistics, join PatientsLikeMe to exchange information about one’s disease, hail a cab using Uber, or read the news through Facebook’s Instant Articles. In The Platform Society, Van Dijck, Poell, and De Waal offer a comprehensive analysis of a connective world where platforms have penetrated the heart of societies—disrupting markets and labor relations, transforming social and civic practices, and affecting democratic processes. The Platform Society analyzes intense struggles between competing ideological systems and contesting societal actors—market, government, and civil society—asking who is or should be responsible for anchoring public values and the common good in a platform society. Public values include, of course, privacy, accuracy, safety, and security; but they also pertain to broader societal effects, such as fairness, accessibility, democratic control, and accountability. Such values are the very stakes in the struggle over the platformization of societies around the globe. The Platform Society highlights how these struggles play out in four private and public sectors: news, urban transport, health, and education. Some of these conflicts highlight local dimensions, for instance, fights over regulation between individual platforms and city councils, while others address the geopolitical level where power clashes between global markets and (supra-)national governments take place.
