Abstract: The disorderly expansion of capital has evolved into a brandnew monopoly model with the superposition of capital, data and traffic flow. The three behaviors, ie. creating structural competitive advantages, building a closed ecosystem and raising market entry barriers, are different from other behaviors designed to thwart competition, with significant characteristics of competition among traffic flows. They are the behavior mapping of the “centerperiphery” system of the digital platform ecology: capital continues to pour in the field of information infrastructure and accelerate the construction of digital essential facilities, and data traffic flows are gathered to form a central platform, through which a pincer attack is loosened against the competitors through diagonal merger; internal selfpreferences but external transaction restrictions lead to a “degradation” of the system structure from the platform to the pipeline, forming a monopoly system of traffic flows; capital solidifies the system with business models and legal regulations that do not conform to the data flow, which makes it difficult for latecomers to break through the data monopoly created by the superplatform through the firstmover advantage and data rules. The innovation highly dependent on data has become an oligopoly game of a few superplatforms. Based on the PDA paradigm of “platformdataalgorithm”, this paper puts forward three regulatory pathways: defining the structural platform from the perspective of the “relational and structural power” of Strange and introducing the principle of the open platform into the Antimonopoly Law; comprehensively transforming the SSNIP and SSNDQ methods tested by the hypothetical monopolist for the two types of platforms, by reforming the transmission mechanism of traffic flows among the center, subcenter, and periphery, since the price mechanism controlled by the circulation organization cannot fully reflect the market supply and demand; validating the data capture methods with two innovations in order to smooth the algorithmic evolution channel blocked by capital.

摘要: 资本、数据、流量三者深度结合,演化出“叠加垄断”这一全新的垄断模式。其中塑造结构性竞争优势、构建封闭生态、抬升市场壁垒三种行为与一般竞争行为不同,具备显著的流量竞争特色,是数字平台生态“中心-外围”体系的行为映射:资本不断对信息基础领域进行投入,加速构筑数字必需设施,集聚数据流量形成中心平台,并通过对角兼并对其竞争者形成了钳形攻势;对内自我优待、对外屏蔽封杀,平台向管道“退化”,塑造流量垄断体系;资本又以不符合数据流动的商业模式与法律规制固化该体系,导致后发竞争者难以突破超级平台通过先发优势与数据规则塑造的数据垄断,控制高度依赖数据的创新成为了少数超级平台的寡头游戏。本文以“平台-数据-算法”PDA范式,提出三条规制路径:引入斯特兰奇的“联系-结构”视角界定结构性平台,在《反垄断法》中导入开放平台原则;针对流通组织所控制的价格机制无法完全反映市场供需的现实,应从中心、次中心、外围三者之间的流量传导机制入手,针对两类平台全面改造假定垄断者测试的SSNIP与SSNDQ方法;需要以两个创新判断数据抓取行为的正当性,以打破资本堵塞的算法演化通道。
