The Obligations of Platform's Common Carrier from the Perspective of Antitrust Law
With the development of Internet technology,digital platforms have gradually come into the public domain as emerging subjects in the Internet economy.Due to the particularity of dynamic competition in the Internet field,the exist-ing antitrust law has lagged behind in regulating monopoly behaviors of digital platforms,and the disorder of platform access,which manifests itself in refusing access,self-preferential treatment,searching for descending and closed data and other be-haviors,is accelerating to the fore.Facing the challenges brought by the digital economy era,the traditional anti-monopoly rules urgently need to be reconstructed.Based on the characteristics of digital platforms themselves,the common carrier theo-ry has emerged vigorously.The development of the essential facilities doctrine and its decline reveal the weakness of modern antitrust law.The EU's"gatekeeper"approach should be used to break the inherent antitrust framework and establish the ob-ligation of common carrier for digital platforms,so as to maintain a market environment of fair competition.
