Abstract

Given its essential role on people’s life, thriving Internet platforms have become an important target of anti-monopoly supervision inside and outside China. Due to the features of the digital economy, the monopolistic behaviors of the Internet platform are categorized in the following aspects: “choice between two platforms”, data manipulation, bundling software and so on. At present, there are some problems in the anti-monopoly laws and regulations on platforms, such as unclear market definition, inapplicable methods for determining market dominance, and strong concealment of market dominance abuse implemented through data and algorithms. Based on the analysis of the anti-monopoly supervision and enforcement of Internet platforms in Europe and the United States, the anti-monopoly regulation of Internet platforms in China should introduce multiple relevant market definition mechanism and market dominance judgment criteria, and improve it by means of data protection and algorithm regulation.
