Digital Network Platform: Classification of Sociotechnical Convergence Hazards

The relevance of the study is due to the fact that the creation of digital network platforms is accompanied by an ambiguous process of socio-technical convergence, during which both positive and negative consequences arise, both intentional and unintended.
The purpose of this publication is to identify and structure the most serious adverse dangers of socio-technical convergence of digital network platforms.
Objectives: to give definitions of the concept of danger and risks of socio-technical convergence; determine the internal and external subject areas of their manifestation.
Metodology. The research methodology is based on the concept of platform research, supplemented by the authors with the ideas of sociotechnical convergence. To classify risks, the taxonomy method was used, the source of information for which was an analytical review of academic literature and journalism on digitalization problems.
The result of the study was the classification of the dangers of sociotechnical convergence. Depending on the position of the source, the hazards were divided into external and internal. External hazards were classified depending 1) on the position of the source of hazards, 2) on the composition of the digital network platform, which has a certain structure, and 3) on the level of subjectivity of hazards, that is, the level of user influence on the functioning processes, the ability to control the occurrence of certain results. External dangers were also classified on two grounds: the level of subjectivity and the object of its manifestation. The taxonomic division resulted in the classification according to such subject areas as digital data, digital surveillance, digital morality, digital identity, digital privacy, digital communication, digital accessibility, digital competence, digital clusters.
Conslusion. The authors conslusion that taxonomy can form the basis for further research to identify and manage the side effects of digitalization.
