Anti-monopoly regulation of privacy risk in data-driven mergers and acquisitions
In the process of data-driven merger and acquisition,the platform is very easy to violate the data privacy of consumers,resulting in the loss of consumer interests.The legislative goal of the anti-monopoly law is to protect the interests of consumers and protect competition.Including the protection of consumer data privacy into the anti-monopoly regulation is in line with the legislative goal of the anti-monopoly Law.However,there are problems in the regulation such as anti-monop-oly theory and analysis tools to be reformed,conflict of law application,value balance,etc.By analyzing the privacy risk in mergers and acquisitions and the deficiencies in the existing protection paths,the following suggestions are put forward:First,data privacy is regarded as a consumer welfare independent of price,and the impact of mergers and acquisitions on the degree of privacy protection is measured by reforming analysis tools.The second is to balance privacy protection and other values through coken technique in regulation.Thirdly,starting from the integration effect,we should pay attention to the complementarity and coordination of data protection legislation and anti-monopoly law,and coordinate the supervision of da-ta privacy protection in mergers and acquisitions by different departments.
