INCA investigates the impact of digital platforms on European democracies and institutions. In particular, the so-called GAFAMs (Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple and Microsoft) are increasingly becoming infrastructures for opinion-making, work organization and political debate. The role of European societies seems to be reduced due to difficulties in regulating the corporate power of platforms that pervades politics, economy and culture.
Researchers from the project consortium have given us their views on the challenges facing European democracies and institutions in relation to digital platforms, such as the constitution of labour relations, the redistribution of power or the need for alternative platforms.
What challenges do you see for European democracies and institutions? Let us know what you think!
