- Description
- Big data has become a key role player for almost all kinds of markets specifically in a digital economy. It is a raw material as well as a by-product of any process. It has very comprehensive inclusivity to cover all aspects of the market having direct as well as indirect market effects. These effects are inclined towards consumerism and market transparency. But it has inherent dangers that are somehow overlooked by competition authorities. Competition law has dealt with the brick-and-mortar economy that is traditional in a very efficient way. However, this is not the case with the digital economy. Traditional notions of the market, abuse of dominant position, anticompetitive practices, and regulation of combinations cannot be made applicable to the digital economy in the same manner. Big data analytics enables big giants or corporations to establish their dominance in their relevant market. Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Apple have been dominating almost digital economy; hence their strategies are being scrutinized under the lenses of competition law once again. This paper deals with the interplay between big data and competition law, and it is going to explore the impact of this unavoidable aspect of big data on a highly competitive digital economy. 2024 Taylor & Francis.
