Data Abuse and Exploitation as Abuse of Dominance? The Driving Forces and the Position of FTC (Part I: Market Realities and European Influence as External Factor)
Main Article Content
Abstract
The market realities of digital economy that is data-driven and prone to platform monopoly and the external influence of competition enforcement in the European Union are the first two factors that create the pressure on the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to adopt the integrationist view regarding the interface between data protection and antitrust and adopt the exploitative abuse of dominance theory of harm associated with data privacy practices in its antitrust enforcement policy leading to the latest wave of monopolization claims against big tech companies in the United States since 2020 including FTC v. Facebook, Inc.
