Rastejando em direção ao antitruste comportamental a (limitada) experiência brasileira e os casos europeus contra o Google como experimento de arquitetura da escolha online
Conteúdo do artigo principal
Resumo
O direito concorrencial está dentre os campos do direito que mais se amparam em observações econômicas. A economia comportamental revolucionou o pensamento econômico no início do século XXI ao desafiar a premissa de que os agentes econômicos são plenamente racionais. Apesar disso, autoridades concorrenciais continuam a operar predominantemente sob os parâmetros da Escola de Chicago, o que inclui a premissa da racionalidade perfeita. Há, contudo, cada vez mais evidências de que essa abordagem é insuficiente para tratar dos desafios de uma era digital. Nesse contexto, este artigo apresenta uma visão geral das principais observações comportamentais e de economia da escolha (e seu lado negativo, as dark patterns), e explora seus impactos sobre publicações de autoridades concorrenciais, bem como decisões no Brasil e na União Europeia. A partir dessas análises, observa-se os remédios europeus em casos contra o Google como experimentos iniciais (que se utilizam de experiência passada com a Microsoft) de arquitetura da escolha por uma autoridade concorrencial, explorando suas possíveis lições, particularmente a necessidade de que autoridades considerem exercer um papel mais ativo na concepção de alternativas que preservem o poder de escolha.
