Morphology
platforming = platform (semi-transparent) = platform + ing
The -ing noun is regular, but this sense depends on the figurative verb 'platform' meaning 'give a platform to', which is only partly predictable from the noun.
Etymology
Platforming comes from platform, which meant a 'flat stage' where a person stands to speak. So to platform someone is to give them a public 'stage' to share their views.
