The Existence of Digital Platforms and the Challenges in Enforcement of Indonesian Competition Law

Abstract

The existence of digital platforms has created a revolutionary change in the competition law system. Its existence as a multisided platform that is conceptually different from conventional economic platforms requires special understanding. The business competition law enforcement authorities see that the multisided character causes the efficiency and consumer welfare approach to be insufficiently applied to business competition law cases involving digital platforms. So, an alternative approach is needed, namely the principle of fairness, to answer challenges in enforcing business competition law.
