Abstract
Does Big Tech have too much power? And if so, what to do about it? These questions have led to fierce debate among politicians, scholars and general citizens across the world. Competition law plays a central role in this debate.
This contribution, written for a non-specialist audience, briefly examines the rise of Big Tech, and explains how competition law has responded. It then reviews the criticism to this response, and reflects on the way forward.
