Description

There is growing unease amongst the general public and political leaders about the power and influence of Big Tech. This has led to calls for increased regulation and antitrust action in both the United States and Europe.

In addition, the proliferation of online platforms has raised concerns about market concentration and Big Tech’s ability to engage in anti-competitive practices that harm consumers and stifle innovation.

In Panel 3, experts from public, private, and academic sectors will discuss the recent regulatory developments across jurisdictions against Big Tech.

For example, is self-preferencing a sufficient antitrust violation, or can extensive regulatory scrutiny of tech acquisitions be counterproductive in the long run?

The panel will take a comparative approach, examining the perspectives of regulators and private practitioners and their efforts to build expertise in a fast-developing area.

The diverse viewpoints of the panelists promise an insightful discourse on the appropriate application of antitrust measures in addressing key concerns stemming from Big Tech platforms.
