Facebook’s expanding platform 2,006,000,000 monthly active users. Deep economic and infrastructural integration in the wider ‘ecosystem of connective media’ (Van Dijck, 2013) and the digital marketing industries. Expansion through platform–industry partnerships.
Contributions 1. Develop a deeper understanding of FB–industry partnership dynamics ; 2. Track how FB & partners are catering to a growing number of 3 rd parties with distinct interests ; 3. Explore FB’s entrenchment within the wider digital marketing industry; 4. Address issues of platform power, equity, and equality in the context of platform–industry relations.
Background and related work • Media studies: privacy, surveillance, and discrimination. (e.g. Turow, 2011) • Critical political economy of communications: audience commodification & institutional analysis (e.g. Smythe, 1977; Napoli, 2014; Nieborg, 2017) • Interrelations between platform ownership, platform governance, and business models. (van Dijck, 2013) “In the venture capitalist economy of Silicon Valley, partnership deals, even with competitors, are as important as beating the competition.” (ibid.: 58)
