Peer-to-peer-plattformar (P2P) använder informations- och kommunikationsteknik (IKT) för att koppla samman konsumenter med tjänsteleverantörer. Tillväxten av P2P har gett upphov till vetenskapliga och offentliga diskussioner om förtroende i den digitala tidsåldern. Förtroende är en förutsättning för samarbete och ordnade sociala relationer.
