digital platform
Web-based business hub
A digital platform is an online infrastructure that enables interactions between users, creators, or businesses.
Social media sites, app stores, and streaming services are digital platforms—they provide the foundation on which others build, share, or transact.
The term often appears in discussions of content moderation and market power: The EU is regulating major digital platforms.
