Abstract:

As a bridge between the government, business, and the public, digital platforms not only provide convenient public services within the digital government governance system but also increasingly demonstrate their public attributes. By aiding the process of public decision-making, they drive innovations in governance efficiency and public services. However, digital platforms also perform their public governance functions while creating challenges to legal rights. They undermine statutory authority; they weaken due process, and their algorithms discriminate. To correct this, the boundaries of digital platform authority need clarification. This means reshaping administrative organizational structures. The legal position of digital platforms as governance entities must be defined and due process strengthened. Additionally, algorithms must be reasonable, technically controllable, and compliant with ethical and legal requirements. These measures will provide practical pathways for digital platforms to participate in government governance that is both fair and efficient.

Key words: digital platforms, digital government, platform power, digital rule of law
