Frequently Asked Questions About Digital Platforms
Digital platforms are online platforms that facilitate interactions between different groups of users, such as businesses and consumers, or individuals seeking to share or access content.
Some examples of digital platforms include social media networks like Facebook and Twitter, e-commerce platforms like Amazon and eBay, ride-sharing platforms like Uber and Lyft, and content-sharing platforms like YouTube and Instagram.
Digital platforms can disrupt traditional industries by providing new ways for consumers to access goods and services, often at lower costs or with greater convenience.

Similarly, e-commerce platforms like Amazon have disrupted the retail industry by offering a wider selection of goods at lower prices.
