The promulgation of EU's Digital Markets Act strengthened the antitrust regulation of large platforms.As"gatekeepers"have to assume more obligations accordingly,data-related ones have negative impact on the safety of private data.The new law is in conflict with EU's General Data Protection Regulation though the new law adheres to the notion of developing a uniform criterion with existing laws.Hence it is urgent to harmonize orderly competition between platforms and protect data privacy.Focusing on the conflicts between the two laws,this paper aims at identifying a feasible path to coordinate the two laws and therefore to offer experiences and lessons to the development of antitrust laws for China s digital platforms and to the connection of the antitrust laws and the protection of data privacy.
