Drawing from an intersectional feminist perspective, it examines the paradox whereby platforms simultaneously offer migrants unprecedented opportunities for self-representation and expose them to intensified surveillance and control. The platformed migrant emerges at the intersection of platform capitalism, state surveillance, and algorithmic governance, where social media presence becomes both necessity and liability. The commentary reveals how platforms function not merely as communication tools but as border infrastructure itself, actively (re)producing migration conditions by determining who can move and under what conditions. Understanding the platformed migrant becomes crucial as platforms increasingly align with authoritarian politics, transforming digital presence into a contested site where contemporary migration is lived, narrated, governed, and resisted. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2026 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
