Anik Bhaduri says antitrust rules miss Big Tech’s market power

The immediate takeaway is that existing antitrust tools may not fully capture how Big Tech affects financial markets, according to Bhaduri’s research.

For the streaming ecosystem, where large platforms often overlap with wider Big Tech ecosystems, the relevant signal is whether future antitrust analysis starts explicitly incorporating financial-market effects alongside traditional competition metrics.
