N2  - Online platforms such as Google, Amazon, and Facebook play an 
increasingly central role in the economy and society. They operate as 
digital intermediaries across interconnected sectors and markets 
subject to network effects. These firms have grown to an 
unprecedented scale, propelled by data-driven business models. 
Online platforms have a massive impact on individual users and 
businesses, and are recasting the relationships between customers, 
advertisers, workers and employers. This has triggered a public debate 
on online platforms' economic dominance and patterns of pervasive 
data collection. This study presents an analytical synthesis of the 
literature,to assess the effects of online platforms on the economy and 
society.
