Research on the Centralized Control System of Digital Platform Operators

Abstract

With the continuous development of the digital economy, the concentration behavior of platform operators presents characteristics such as large quantity, large scale, and wide impact, which puts forward higher requirements for the centralized control system of platform operators. The Anti Monopoly Law of China stipulates a system for reviewing the concentration of operators, but there is little research on the concentration control system of digital platform operators, especially a lack of systematic analysis of the concentration control system of digital platform operators. Therefore, in the design of the centralized control system for digital platform operators, full consideration should be given to the particularity of the digital economy, and regulations should be made based on the types of digital platforms and the different characteristics of different types of platform operators. After clarifying the basic principles for defining the relevant market, specific market dominance standards can be selected to identify digital platform operators who have or may have dominance. In addition, based on the characteristics of the digital economy, this paper analyzes the potential risks of competition damage caused by the concentration of digital platform operators. The principles of fairness and reasonableness, as well as the protection of consumer interests, will be established as the analysis basis. By improving the application standards and review methods, China's digital platform operator concentration control system will be improved.
