Jurisprudential Analysis and Regulatory Path of Digital Platform Power
Digital platform power refers to the control and dominance exerted by digital platforms over social ac-tors,based on advantages such as data monopolies,algorithmic decision-making,and resource allocation.As a new form of power,digital platform power originates from technological empowerment,capital empowerment,legal empowerment,and social empowerment.It has such basic characteristics as natural monopoly,high con-cealment,and comprehensive penetration.Digital platform power can be examined from three dimensions:basic form,expansion form,and alienation form.At the basic form level,it manifests as data control rights,rule-making rights,supervision and management rights,and dispute resolution rights.At the expansion form level,it mainly includes super digital platform power,platform ecosystem power,and infrastructure platform power.At the alienation form level,it includes coercive,manipulative,dominating,and subjective power as-pects.The expansion and alienation of digital platform power have triggered a series of social risks,posing sig-nificant challenges to market order,privacy security,and social justice values.The current policy framework and legal norms in China still have certain limitations in regulating digital platform power.To promote the healthy development of China's platform economy,it is urgently necessary to establish a full-cycle regulatory path of"prevention beforehand,control during the process,and accountability afterward,"strengthen pre-reg-ulation,fully leverage the governance efficiency of"soft law,"enhance post-antitrust enforcement efforts,and construct a multi-dimensional interactive collaborative governance pattern under the rule of law.
