Digital Competition Law and Big Tech Regulation: a Comparative Analysis of the Eu Digital Markets Act and India’s Digital Competition Bill
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Digital markets have evolved rapidly and are changing the economies of the world, as big tech firms have unprecedented power over commerce, communications, and data flows. A preventive regulatory tool to break the influence of big online platforms, the “Digital Markets Act (DMA)” was introduced in the European Union (EU)[1]. It extends to gatekeepers, such as Alphabet (Google), Amazon, Apple, Meta (Facebook), Microsoft, and ByteDance (TikTok), in addition to imposing ex-ante liability on them in an attempt to promote contestability and more equitable digital ecosystems[2]. The DMA has already led to significant changes in compliance, including Apple's permission for alternative app stores within the EU and Google's engineering of search results to prevent self-preferencing.
