MEDIA & DIGITAL PLATFORMS MARKET INQUIRY: INPUT SOUGHT ON DRAFT TERMS OF REFERENCE
- 17 March 2023
- Communications & Digital Technologies
- SA Legal Academy
Please note: Draft terms of reference for the inquiry were gazetted three days after the Competition Commission's media statement. The deadline for public comment has been set at 20 April 2023.
In anticipation of embarking on an inquiry into the media and digital platforms market, the Competition Commission has called for comments on its proposed terms of reference. An accompanying media statement tends to point to concerns about the impact of an ever-increasing demand for digital news on the operational costs and revenue streams of service providers and – by implication – market behaviour.
Against that backdrop, the inquiry will focus on:
- search engines
- social media sites
- video sharing platforms, and
- news aggregation platforms.
The impact of new technologies on the business operations of digital platforms will also be evaluated.
