metadata.value: The article discusses topical issues of protection and regulation of competition in the markets
  in the digital business environment. The authors noted that the systems of regulation and law
  enforcement should be flexibly combined, harmonized in order to develop adequate measures
  to stimulate fair competition. From the standpoint of adaptation to Russian practice, the foreign
  experience of the antimonopoly authorities in terms of regulating online markets, price
  algorithms, and mergers and acquisitions has been studied. The high-tech sector is particularly
  dynamic. In this regard, the authors draw attention to the fact that in the digital economy
  of demand, the processes of monopolization, competition persist, but their content is
  transformed, which complicates the analysis and assessment of monopolization, dominance,
  competition. Anticompetitive practices can lead to the dominance of a single platform. The signs of the dominant position of digital platforms are revealed. Based on the regulatory and
  legal approach, the article summarizes the Russian and foreign experience of qualifying economic
  concentration and dominant position, identifies negative factors that cause the expansion
  of regulatory control of antimonopoly authorities over digital platforms. The legal nature
  of digital platforms, direct and indirect network effects have been studied in detail. It has
  been proven that algorithms can serve as collusion tools in both horizontal and vertical agreements.
  From the standpoint of economic research methods, an overview of the assessment of
  the dominant position of antimonopoly authorities in the digital economy is carried out, it is
  noted that the preconditions have been created for the formation of a platform economy. The
  features of the antitrust policy in relation to digital platforms in Russia, the European Union
  and the United States are considered. It is concluded that antitrust legislation in recent years
  has become a powerful regulatory tool at the level of different jurisdictions.
