We will explore the intersection of e-commerce with the digital economy, and how these fields are being transformed by new technologies and platforms. We will look at the challenges and opportunities facing ethical marketplaces in the digital gig economy, and how platform cooperatives can provide a more equitable and sustainable model for this important sector. We will also explore the broader idea of a democratic internet, where users have more control over their online experiences and the data they generate, and how this can benefit workers, cooperatives, and collectives on a digital marketplace.
