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.
