Abstract

In the context of the rapid development of the national digital economy, the rise of the platform economy, accompanied by potential monopoly risks, poses a severe challenge to the traditional antitrust compliance system. This paper begins with an analysis of national antitrust policies and regulatory trends, explaining the limitations of traditional compliance models in addressing issues in the platform economy era. By exploring the role of digital technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and privacy computing in driving compliance transformation, the paper points out that digital empowerment can facilitate the transition from static post-event regulation to dynamic, real-time early warning systems and intelligent auditing. Based on typical platform enterprise case studies and the experiences of small and medium-sized enterprises using SaaS compliance tools, this paper summarizes feasible models and optimization strategies for digital compliance. It also addresses implementation challenges such as technical barriers, data privacy protection, talent development, and policy standard improvement, proposing strategies for multi-dimensional collaboration and industrial ecosystem building. The study concludes that the construction of a digital compliance system helps improve the precision and efficiency of national antitrust regulation and internal corporate compliance, laying a solid foundation for the fair, transparent, and sustainable development of the platform economy.
