Abstract

Fake news covers a very wide spectrum of ?false news? or ?false information.? It can be intentional or unintentional, emanating from companies or persons using social networks, or, more broadly, on the internet. Fake news can also appear to be true information but that, deliberately decontextualized, becomes deceptive for the recipients. A priori, fake news is not a competition issue. Nonetheless, fake news could in the future infringe competition rules. It could provide a support base for collusive behavior or, in abusive fashion, reinforce the market power of a dominant company. This prospective study proposes to reflect on this topic and to examine whether competition law possesses the necessary tools to counteract potentially anti-competitive practices.
