Book Review: Competition Law and Big Data: Imposing Access to Information in Digital Markets by Beata Mäihäniemi

Abstract

Major information intermediaries (such as Amazon, Facebook and Google) have considerable control over the flow of information online. This has been an issue of concern for some competition regulators. The concern, generally speaking, is that an information intermediary can use its control over information in anti-competitive ways. This gives rise to the question of how competition law should intervene in this context.
