Digital platform antitrust concerns the application of competition law and related regulatory frameworks to large online platforms with significant market power, such as search engines, app stores, social networks, and ad technology intermediaries. The field examines abuses of dominance, exclusionary agreements, self‑preferencing, data-driven market power, and structural remedies, and increasingly integrates privacy, data access, and interoperability obligations under instruments like the EU Digital Markets Act and Digital Services Act, as well as analogous enforcement actions in the United States and other jurisdictions.
