Platformization and Platform Society: Interview with José van Dijck, the former President of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences
Along with the rapid penetration of Internet platforms into personal and public lives, the platform society has become an important research topic in emerging media studies and global communication. In Western academia, José van Dijck, the former president of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences, has done pioneering research in areas such as the internal logic of platformization, the multidimensional nature of platform ecosystem, and the relationship between platform society and user agency and cultural construction. Observing the new trend of platform society in recent years, we discuss with José van Dijck on the development and impact of platformization in historical-cultural, socio-technical, and techno-commercial contexts.

Online content providers such as YouTube are carefully positioning themselves to users, clients, advertisers and policymakers, making strategic claims for what they do and do not do, and how their place in the information landscape should be understood. One term in particular, ‘platform’, reveals the contours of this discursive work. The term has been deployed in both their populist appeals and their marketing pitches, sometimes as technical ‘platforms’, sometimes as ‘platforms’ from which to speak, sometimes as ‘platforms’ of opportunity. Whatever tensions exist in serving all of these constituencies are carefully elided. The term also fits their efforts to shape information policy, where they seek protection for facilitating user expression, yet also seek limited liability for what those users say. As these providers become the curators of public discourse, we must examine the roles they aim to play, and the terms by which they hope to be judged.
