Legal Challenges and Regulatory Approaches of Platform Enterprise Data Monopolies in the Era of Digital Economy
The world is currently at a historic intersection of a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation,coinciding with China's shift in development mode.Represented by big data,cloud computing,blockchain and artificial intelligence,digital technology is flourishing.Human society has entered the era of data-driven digital economy,where data has become a key strategic resource for gaining competitive advantage,promoting economic growth and enhancing overall national strength.It profoundly changes market competition patterns,industrial development forms and business governance models.In practice,however,a few platform enterprises exploit the intangibility and non-competitiveness of data elements,network effects,user lock-in effects and their dominant position as"gatekeepers"in the market.They monopolize massive user data resources through strong data control and algorithmic advantages,seriously infringing on the legitimate rights and interests of platform users,disrupting the competitive order of the data element market and hindering the realization of the public value of data elements.Therefore,it is urgent to strengthen regulation on platform enterprises'data monopolies.Regulatory measures such as improving the identification and regulation of new types of collusive monopoly agreements through algorithms,continuously optimizing and adjusting the declaration standards for concentrated data market operators,innovating the examination and supervision paths for the abuse of dominant positions in the data market should be taken to establish a safe and free digital space and a fair and just market competition environment.
