| After experiencing three stages of evolution, internet platforms have become new economic hubs with such functions as information accumulation, element production, resource allocation and rule making. They are an organizational form that enables the relevant entities to jointly create value, and plays the ecological function characterized by integration of multiple industries. Internet platforms reshape the process and organizational form of economic production, changes the method of resource allocation, and becomes the third force other than political power and market rights. Internet platform economy is different from traditional economy in terms of competition features, posing challenges to global anti-monopoly regulation in technique, rules and juridical logic. In essence, this is the result of the increasing penetration by internet platforms into social economy, and the transformation of their nature from private to public. Because of the lack of efficient regulation, the dissimilation of the public nature of platforms has led to the distortion of competition and monopoly, concretely manifested in the non-openness and non-neutrality of data elements and platform elements. In order to restore the competition order, promote innovation and protect the rights of internet platform participants, it is necessary to reform the current anti-monopoly system, establish anti-monopoly rules with “abusing of publicness” as the underlying logic, and impose competitive liabilities on competent internet platform operators. |
