digital platform cooperatives

Digital platform cooperatives are online businesses owned and governed by their members, rather than private investors or corporations. These cooperatives use digital technology to provide services—like ride-sharing or delivery—while ensuring that profits and decision-making power are shared among the workers or users involved. This model promotes fairness, democratic governance, and equitable distribution of income, contrasting with traditional platforms that often prioritize profit for shareholders. The goal is to create a more just and sustainable economy by empowering individuals to collaborate and control their work environment.
