Abstract

On December 6th 2016, the European Commission approved Microsoft's acquisition of LinkedIn. The approval of the merger was achieved by stipulating mandatory conditions imposed on the two companies. Given that both companies are operating in the Big Data field, our article proposes a qualitative analysis of this merger implications regarding online data security. To this end, we will assess both the conditions of merger and its implications for user data security, as well as the most relevant researches related to the competition law applicable to Big Data.
