Fake news is getting more attention because of the Internet and the rise of the online platforms and social networks, particularly in the age of COVID-19. Its sudden popularization creates important issues regarding how this phenomenon affects the society and democracy, as well as the consumers, competition and market. The question is what happens when fake news are spread (online) and misused during pandemic - whether to apply the European Union competition law in such cases? The author considers that European Commission should not deal with fake news challenges in the context of potential anticompetitive conducts. It is pointed out that fake news problem is not a competitive problem because the struggle against fake news is about the content not the competition and market power.

O CONTROLE CONCORRENCIAL: REGULADOR DO MERCADO INTERNO NA UNIÃO EUROPEIA COMPETITION CONTROL: REGULATOR OF THE EUROPEAN UNION INTERNAL MARKET  Marcelo Schultes RESUMO: O controle concorrencial tem exercido um papel importante na implementação do mercado interno no espaço de integração europeu, corrigindo distorções e abusos econômicos. Também é possível notar a interação do direito da concorrência com outras áreas do direito, como, por exemplo, a da propriedade intelectual. Observa-se, ainda, o alargamento dos objetivos das políticas de concorrência europeias, que passam a mirar também o desenvolvimento econômico sustentável e a inovação tecnológica. Neste artigo pretende-se analisar de que forma o controle da concorrência entre os agentes econômicos dos diferentes estados membros da União Europeia embasou a construção de um mercado interno efetivo, corrigindo distorções concorrenciais surgidas neste exitoso processo de integração regional. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: União Europeia; Concorrência; Mercado Interno; Desenvolvimento; Propriedade Intelectual. ABSTRACT: The competition control has played a major role in the implementation of the internal market within the European integration area, correcting distortions and economic abuse.
