Abstract The exponential growth of Big Tech corporations—including major players like Google, Amazon, Meta (formerly Facebook), and Apple—has reshaped the global economy and introduced profound challenges for competition law. These companies wield significant market power, prompting serious concerns about potential monopolistic practices and anti-competitive behavior. This paper presents an extensive analysis of the intersection between competition law and the operations of Big Tech, focusing on the unique challenges posed by these dominant entities, evaluating the effectiveness of current legal frameworks, and exploring the need for legal reform. The paper also addresses the intricate balance required between encouraging innovation and safeguarding consumer welfare in an increasingly digitalized economy.
