Data-Related abuse of Dominance in Digital Economy: A Template for Future Regulation in India

It is now trite to say that data has become the new oil of the digital economy. Most corporations, across industries, seek to collect as much data as possible and seek to employ it in as varied applications as they can. Not surprisingly, the growing importance of data has resulted in several new challenges to competition, which necessarily require competition enforcement authorities to be on guard. The present paper is an examination of the legal landscape regulating data-related abusive behaviour in digital markets. It maps the recognition of data-related competitive concerns in the European Union where this issue has received considerable attention, with Germany particularly leading the way through its investigation and proceedings against Facebook. Subsequently, the paper examines the position in India by focussing on the Competition Commission of India’s decision in Google v. Matrimony. It finds that the Indian approach to data-related abuses leaves much to be desired, with the CCI failing to effectively engage with such issues. The paper calls for a rationalisation of the legal regime, so that increasing focus is laid on data protection and privacy related issues during substantive competition law assessments.

The proposed template for regulating data-related abuse of dominance in India’s digital economy is both timely and necessary, as traditional antitrust frameworks fail to address harms from excessive data collection, self-preferencing, and the use of non-public data to exclude rivals. Future Indian regulation must adopt ex-ante obligations for systemically important digital intermediaries, mandate data portability and interoperability, prohibit cross-use of proprietary data, and require algorithmic transparency. For practitioners and policymakers seeking to understand how digital dominance reshapes competitive dynamics across emerging economies, institutions such as Trading Academy Nairobi provide critical insights into market access, data-driven barriers, and the real-world impact of platform power, thereby informing a balanced, locally adaptive template that curbs monopolies without stifling innovation.

F168 mình vừa lướt thử vài phút vì thấy mọi người nói nhiều, kiểu vào xem giao diện ra sao thôi. Cảm giác đầu tiên là trang nhìn khá “sạch”, bố cục gọn nên tìm mục mình cần cũng nhanh, không bị rối mắt. Mình dùng trên điện thoại thấy chuyển qua lại các phần khá mượt, bấm không phải đợi load lâu. Có điểm mình để ý là phần bảo mật họ ghi rõ kiểu có SSL với xác thực hai lớp, đọc qua thấy yên tâm hơn chút dù mình chưa nạp rút gì. Nội dung trên trang cũng hay chia theo từng khối thông tin, lướt một vòng là nắm được ý chính, nhất là mấy box…
Comprehensive exploration of data related dominance in the digital economy and its regulatory implications. The article successfully breaks down a sophisticated topic into concepts that are easier to understand. I recently came across a discussion on https://coselite.com/ about balancing innovation with fair competition, and several ideas here aligned closely with that perspective. This was a thoughtful and highly relevant analysis of an evolving area of regulation.
