Australia's Competition Watchdog Pushing for New Laws for Big Tech

Australia's competition watchdog said new competition laws were required in response to the rapid expansion of digital platforms such as Amazon, Apple, Google, Meta and Microsoft in the country. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) in its latest report for the Digital Platform Services Inquiry raised concerns that the expansion of these platforms has increased the risk of them engaging in harmful behavior such as invasive data collection and practices that lock in customers and limit their choices.
