Excessive Data Collection as an Exploitative Abuse Under EU Competition Law

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: The article examines excessive data collection as an exploitative abuse under EU competition law, highlighting the relationship with the existing concepts of excessive pricing and unfair trading conditions under Article 102 TFEU. Digital platforms might impose disproportionate data burdens on consumers, similar to excessive pricing. Based on existing case law and theoretical frameworks, the article suggests addressing excessive data collection within the current legal structure.
