Course Outline
Introduction
Data protection laws including the GDPR are increasingly placing restrictions on the degree to which businesses can share personal data with third parties.
Antitrust authorities are looking to platforms to open access to their data which may lower switching costs, stimulate innovation, and drive competition.
Novel applications of competition law to data-related issues extend beyond privacy (for example recent interventions by the UK CMA to restrict targeted advertising by online platforms).
The landscape is characterised by some uncertainty until the tensions between standards of data privacy and competition are resolved.
This new webinar provides an exploration of how data and data protection law are increasingly a focus of competition authorities.
