Dadocracia, episode 60 | “The challenges of data-driven mergers”

Episode of the podcast Dadocracia, project of Data Privacy Brazil, explored the acquisitions of data-centric companies, such as the purchase of Instagram and WhatsApp by Facebook. These acquisitions create incentives for privacy policies to change and often change to reduce users’ privacy rights. The Lawyer Lucas Griebeler guides us through this discussion  about the difficulties faced by competition authorities around the world in dealing with data driven mergers with traditional antitrust tools and why this is a problem.
