基于互联网用户数据保护的反垄断法功能研究

Function research of antitrust law based on data protection of Internet users

随着数据技术的进一步发展,数据驱动型企业在为终端消费者提供便利的同时,也开始对互联网用户的数据和隐私安全造成威胁。在此背景下,利用法律做好数据安全保护的顶层制度设计成为当务之急。文章分析了反垄断法凭借其前置审查程序和相对较高的案件处理效率在数据保护领域具有的独特优势,又进一步说明了利用现行反垄断法框架进行数据保护的路径,即反垄断执法机构应将消费者福利作为基准价值和将数据安全作为重要的非价格竞争因素。

With the further development of data technology,data-driven enterprises,while providing convenience for end consumers,also begin to threaten the data and privacy security of Internet users.Under the background of this era,it is urgent to design the top-level system of data security protection by law.Among many laws,anti-monopoly law has its unique advantages in the field of data protection by virtue of its pre-review procedure and relatively high efficiency of case handling.This paper further illustrates the way of data protection using the current anti-monopoly law framework:anti-monopoly law enforcement agencies should take consumer welfare as the benchmark value and data security as an important non-price competitive factor.
