| In the course of accelerated digitalisation,competition in the Internet sector has become increasingly fierce and,accordingly,the forms of competition in this sector have diversified,with new forms of unfair competition emerging.In this context,the importance of data in the internet sector has been highlighted and data resources have penetrated into all aspects of our lives,becoming the object of competition between operators.Improper data capture is a new type of unfair competition born out of this background.There is no denying that data scraping technology can improve the efficiency of data flow between operators.However,when the improper nature of data scraping is analysed,such behaviour can have a negative impact on the healthy and orderly order and mechanism of competition.At the same time,due to the inherent characteristics of the lagging nature of the law,the application of the Anti-Unfair Competition Law to regulate new types of unfair competition practices,including improper data scraping,has led to some unavoidable problems.If such acts are not regulated in a timely manner,the stability of the Internet industry may be affected.Therefore,this paper analyzes the regulatory approach of the Anti-Unfair Competition Law,which regulates unfair data scraping,identifies the problems that may arise in the regulation,and puts forward suggestions for institutional optimization based on overseas experience and China’s actual situation,with a view to effectively regulating unfair data scraping,maintaining a proper and orderly competition order in the Internet field,and promoting the healthy development of the Internet industry.The aim is to make effective regulation of improper data capture practices,maintain a proper and orderly competition order in the Internet field,and promote the healthy development of the Internet industry. |
