      ab: We do so in order to unpack the techno-economic "black box" represented by these Big Tech firms, reflecting on their dominance of both technoscience and political economy through their configuration and reconfiguration of techno-economic claims, narratives, conditions, practices, and processes. According to Pfotenhauer I et al. i ([52]), the politics of scaling entails both a policy concern with scale, reflecting the size of a techno-economic undertaking like a Big Tech firm, and a logic of scalability. In a subsequent paper, Hendrikse I et al. i ([37]) delves into the distinction between monopoly power of tech firms today versus those through recent history, and they trace the twists and turns as Big Tech firms moved from computer manufacturers to digital platforms. : Scale, Platforms, and Governance We use the term "" to refer to the US-based, multinational corporations Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet/Google, and Facebook/Meta.
