Competition Law and Tech - A New Approach

Abstract

In the past two years, the European Commission and national agencies have concluded investigations into a wide range of tech companies’ practices. Running alongside enforcement activity, there has been a series of public policy debates about the role of technology in society more generally, the architecture of digital platforms, and the rights and interests of users. My remarks here focus on how Google can work with antitrust agencies on issues to do with market power and contestability.
