A broader field extending social science methods to the entire internet ecosystem—infrastructure, governance, political economy, and culture. It examines how internet architecture (protocols, data centers, fiber optics) embodies political values, how governance regimes (ICANN, national regulations) shape freedom, and how economic models (surveillance capitalism, gig platforms) reorganize labor and value. It treats the internet not as a neutral network but as a contested social space where power, resistance, and inequality are enacted.
Example: “His work on social sciences applied to the internet traced how the shift from net neutrality to privatized data flows concentrated economic power in a handful of platform companies, reshaping global digital rights.”
