Digital Platforms, Diagram of Control, ModulationAbstract
The current corporate models of digital platforms and their data centers are formidable machines for accelerating and controlling flows, energies, investments, and speculations. This research article explores the platform’s diagrammatic nature – virtual and shapeless, based in antithetical, managing-serving lives in total “freedom of speech” – grounding on the four modulation mechanisms proposed by David Savat: the recognition of patterns, the anticipation of activity, the organization of antitheses and the programming of flows. Based on this, it establishes hypotheses, theses, and reflections about the platforms’ powers of disruption, populating of time and distributed controls, as well as their different associated issues. It leads to the discussion regarding the satisfied, consigned, and resigned user and the limits concerning the use of terms such as manipulation, responsibility, and privacy.
