Based on the strong position in organization and management,the super platforms have increasingly strength-ened the distributing and regulating powers on stakeholders in the platforms,which has triggered many negative externalities.It can be addressed by the platform social responsibility.From the perspective of functionalism,platform social responsibility should be positioned as due and high standard obligations undertaken by the platforms based on the overall social interests.We should go beyond typological methods to promote platform social responsibility as general principles,to constrain the distribu-ting and regulating powers of platforms,to lead and improve the creation and implementation of platform governance rules.The social responsibility in platforms'distributing power should be centered around fair distribution,promoting a balance of interests between the platforms and their operators,flexible employment personnel,users,consumers as well as other entities within the platforms.The social responsibility in platforms'regulating power should focus on neutrality,rationality and justi-ciability,so as to realize the value of regulating power in maintaining public order and good customs,establishing behavior standards and facilitating dispute resolution.The implementation of platform social responsibility should be promoted through public-private integration mechanisms such as legal norms transformation,public policy promotion,public and private imple-mentation.
