The Relationship Between Antitrust and Privacy Protection in the Digital Age and the Construction of Data Control Supervision Model

Abstract

This paper explores the root cause of the difficulty in using antitrust policy to promote privacy protection in the digital age. It is more and more important to prevent the lack of competition and privacy security risks brought by big data. Since the antitrust policy is ineffective in remedying privacy violations, it is not advisable to include privacy security issues into the antitrust framework for analysis. By establishing an appropriate data control supervision model that enables the competition law enforcement department, consumer protection department, and data security protection supervision department to work together, the purpose of enhancing market trust, ensuring consumer choice and consumer welfare can be realized.
