How Marketplaces Are Rewriting Their Own Terms of Service
from The Platform Economy with Fexingo: Marketplaces, Networks, and Multi-Sided Businesses · host Fexingo
Episode 36 of The Platform Economy digs into the quiet revolution happening inside marketplace terms of service—how companies like Airbnb, Uber, and Etsy are rewriting the rules that govern trust, liability, and revenue. Lucas and Luna unpack the tension between platform control and user autonomy, the shift from one-sided to bilateral dispute resolution, and the concrete legal mechanisms that turn fine print into competitive moats. They explore the rise of 'Terms 2.0' clauses—binding arbitration carveouts, data portability mandates, and platform-as-arbiter frameworks—and ask whether these updates empower users or entrench platform power. With specific cases from 2025 and 2026, the hosts show how the unglamorous legal infrastructure beneath the interface is becoming the next frontier of marketplace strategy. #PlatformEconomy #Marketplaces #TermsOfService #LegalTech #Airbnb #Uber #Etsy #PlatformGovernance #DisputeResolution #DataPortability #Arbitration #ConsumerRights #BusinessStrategy #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #PodcastEpisode #LucasAndLuna Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
