Resumo
O fenômeno da ascensão das Big Techs desde meados dos anos 90 representa um dos eventos mais importantes dos últimos anos na manutenção do poder econômico em escala global. Todavia, muito se discute se esse fenômeno compensou à sociedade, afinal de contas, muitos foram os ganhos com a revolução por elas proporcionada na esfera de consumo, porém, muitas foram as perdas com a formação dos monopólios e do elevado poder econômico por elas constituído – que se expandiu, ao longo dos anos, para esferas cada vez mais sensíveis ao consumidor – e também mais perigosas ao mercado! Dessa forma, o presente trabalho terá o condão de analisar as entranhas do conceito de poder econômico, estudando desde sua concepção sociológica até sua presente conformação sociopolítica, demostrando que sua configuração se lastreia em e reproduz assimetrias em um determinado mercado e que, portanto, consiste em elemento que enseja o sofrimento de limitações dentro da presente ordem econômica. Uma vez feita tal fundamentação teórica, seus substratos serão aplicados e subsumidos ao caso das Big Techs, onde se pretende provar que, mediante vários fatores, tais consistem em um dos maiores exemplos – senão o maior deles – de abuso de poder econômico na atualidade, demonstrando suas principais particularidades responsáveis por elevarem-nas a tal status e, principalmente, demonstrando casos reais de Big Techs cujas operações foram julgadas por órgãos de defesa da concorrência – bem como analisando e comparando as decisões dos órgãos incumbidos do julgamento dos respectivos casos analisados.
The rise of Big Tech since the mid-1990s has been one of the most important events in recent years in terms of maintaining economic power on a global scale. However, there has been much debate as to whether this phenomenon has really paid off for society. After all, there have been many gains with the revolution they have brought about in the consumer sphere, but there have also been many losses with the formation of monopolies and the high economic power they have built up - which has expanded over the years into spheres that are increasingly sensitive to the consumer - and also more dangerous to the market! Thus, this work will analyze the guts of the concept of economic power, studying everything from its sociological conception to its present socio-political conformation, demonstrating that its configuration is based on and reproduces asymmetries in a given market and that, therefore, it consists of an element that gives rise to limitations within the present economic order. Once this theoretical foundation has been made, its substrates will be applied and subsumed to the case of Big Techs, where the aim is to prove that, through various factors, these consist of one of the greatest examples - if not the greatest - of abuse of economic power today, demonstrating their main particularities responsible for elevating them to such a status and, above all, demonstrating real cases of big techs whose operations have been judged by antitrust bodies - as well as analyzing and comparing the decisions of the bodies responsible for judging the respective cases analyzed.
