“…This, in turn, gives rise to network effects, where additional users add to the existing pool of users. This happens because the platforms seem more attractive to a new user, since almost all the people from different spheres of their lives are already a part of it (Buiten, 2019).…”

Data privacy has been receiving widespread attention. However, in some areas, dedicated laws are proving inadequate to deal with the impact of anti-competitive effects on the privacy of users. This requires a detailed discussion on the unilateral privacy policies imposed by data giants involving consent notices in the nature of “take it or leave it”. It further brings into question the role that competition law can play in examining abuse of dominance within firms, where users are being held captive and forced to share access to their data, given the status of the players in the market.

“…Kelima, nilai (value), merujuk pada kemampuan kita untuk mengubah data menjadi sesuatu yang memiliki tujuan, penggunaan, dan manfaat, sesuatu yang membantu perusahaan dan organisasi untuk bekerja lebih baik misalnya, dengan memungkinkan perusahaan mengoptimalkan proses mereka atau melayani pelanggan mereka dengan lebih baik, seperti yang dilakukan Google dengan fungsi pencariannya untuk membantu kita memahami apa itu Big Data. [19] Beberapa Karakteristik Berbeda dari Persaingan Berbasis Data Untuk menilai dengan tepat implikasi antitrust dari Big Data, kita harus sepenuhnya memahami cara perusahaan menggunakan Big Data dan sifat persaingan di antara mereka.

Perkembangan informasi dan teknologi dalam dunia hukum telah terjadi semenjak era digitalisasi ikut berkembang. Di Indonesia sendiri perkembangan ini mulai dengan adanya pengaturan mengenai telekomunikasi hingga yang terbaru mengenai perlindungan data pribadi. Sejauh ini pengaturan-pengaturan di Indonesia sendiri terlihat masih berdiri sendiri tanpa adanya paying hukum meskipun beberapa ahli hukum menyebutkan Undang-Undang Informasi dan Transaksi Elektronik sebagai semi payung hukum dari pengaturan digitalisasi di Indonesia. Masuknya elemen digitalisasi berupa Big Data sebagaimana halnya teknologi tak jarang menimbulkan sebuah distrupsi baru bagi penegakkan hukum persaingan usaha di Indonesia yang tak jarang kita ketahui sulit untuk melakukan pembuktian secara hukum, hal ini dapat terlihat dari adanya ilmu ekonomi sebagai salah satu ilmu yang membantu dalam penerapan hukum persaingan usaha, dengan masuknya Big Data ini muncul lagi ilmu baru yang nampaknya perlu menjadi perhatian bagi Komisi Pengawas Persaingan Usaha dalam melaksanakan aturan teknis terkait Undang-Undang tentang Larangan Praktek Monopoli dan Persaingan Usaha Tidak Sehat di Indonesia.

“…From a legal point of view, a special feature of the Facebook case is that violations of data protection standards are assessed to constitute an abuse of market power and, thus, a violation of competition law. This raises legal questions about the interface of competition law and consumer protection law as well as about their respective enforcement (inter alia, Colangelo & Maggiolino 2019;Buiten 2019Buiten , 2020Hladjk et al 2019; analysis of this question for third-party tracking introduced by Robertson 2020). In general, Ezrachi & Robertson (2019) show that third-party tracking is a growing industry and has its market power implications: tracking capacity should be ex ante considered in merger review and it may trigger an ex post analysis due to an adverse impact on the consumers.…”

“…The legal literature controversially discusses whether violations of data protection and consumer protection laws constitute a case for competition policy (inter alia, Colangelo & Maggiolino 2019;Buiten 2019Buiten , 2020Hladjk et al 2019;Robertson 2020), fueled by an extensive reasoning of the FCO that legal precedents subsume considerable power imbalances leading to the en-forcement of illegal business terms under the abuse of dominance law (Bundeskartellamt 2019c: 7-9). From an economic perspective, however, issues of conflicts of laws and their interfaces do not play the central role.…”

The importance of digital platforms and related data-driven business models is ever increasing and poses challenges for the workability of competition in the respective markets (tendencies towards dominant platforms, paying-with-data instead of traditional money, privacy concerns, etc.). Due to such challenges, investigations of such markets are of high interest. One of recent cases is the investigation of Facebook's data collection practices by German competition authorities. Our paper, in contrast to the wide stream of legal studies on this case, aims to analyze whether Facebook's practices regarding data collection could constitute an abuse of market power from an economic perspective, more specifically against the background of modern data economics. In doing so we summarize the state of the advanced theories, including influences from behavioral economics, addressing such markets, and discuss four potential theories of harm.
