This document discusses the ethical issues and unintended consequences of digitalization and platformization. It highlights the negative externalities and disruptions that can arise from disruptive digital innovations, such as job losses, negative health impacts, and the loss of traditional values. The document emphasizes the need for ethical interrogation of algorithms and the potential marginalization of certain stakeholders. It also explores various themes related to surveillance capitalism, unintended consequences of new technology, risks in autonomous decision making, political issues, and online behavior. The authors call for further research in this important and evolving area to combat the negative impacts of technology. [Extracted from the article]
