The Competition Commission, in South Africa, released its final report on Online Intermediation Platforms Market Inquiry after two years of investigation into local and international business-to-consumer (B2C) online platform markets, identifying features that adversely affect competition in these markets. The Commission proposed several remedial actions to address these findings, including removal of restrictive pricing clauses, full information of commission fees charged by platforms to consumers, inter alia, with an aim to increase visibility and opportunity for smaller South African platforms.
