Big Tech says ex-ante antitrust regulations will hurt innovation

Executives from a Big Tech company have expressed concerns about the proposed ex-ante regulations in India's draft Digital Competition Bill, comparing them to the European Union's Digital Markets Act (DMA) and its negative impact on user experience and innovation. They argue that the rigid rules of a DMA-like regime prevent innovations from benefiting users and restrict how platforms can operate. Critics also question the need for a new regulatory framework, as the Competition Commission of India already has powers to address anti-competitive conduct. Meanwhile, proponents argue that ex-ante regulations can benefit consumers by preventing harm in advance.
