Pornography Platforms
Abstract
This chapter explores the development, operations, and effects of pornography platforms. It deploys cases from leading porn platform companies to illustrate key principles of platform markets, infrastructures, and governance. Although the chapter considers the activities of actors moving within these network, as well as stakeholders adjacent to them, the focus is not porn content or creators. Instead, this overview is primarily concerned with the technological and commercial structures of platforms, and how power relations are defined through their systems.
