| Description | Digitization leads to an unprecedental rise of profit and of power of the „gate-keepers“. Higher transparence of the market and swiftness of market reaction due to digitization is two-edged sword. It does not lead by far to creation of a perfect market. Protection of competition might slide into protection of privacy in terms of consumer welfare as it has recently already happened in the case law. Regulatory means for protection of competition and for protection of consumers´privacy should be separated and not confused and substitutable. The attempts to make use of antitrust in order to solve issues beyond it might backfire. |
