Threats to the Digital Markets Development Basing on Analysis of the "Yandex.Taxi" Aggregator

The article is devoted to identifying and in-depth analysis of those threats, that arise when implementing aggregating digital platforms. The objectives of the research are to consistently consider the following problems of modern digital platforms: price discrimination, dissatisfaction on the part of performers, violation of the spirit of labor legislation, unfair competition, violation of the principle of distribution of risks and profits, the danger of competition of digital platforms. Research methods: analysis and synthesis of information from domestic and foreign sources, statistical analysis, historical analysis. The study identified and analyzed six types of threats that come from digital platforms. On the example of “Yandex. Taxi” aggregator and examples from international practice it is shown that all these threats take place all over the world, including Russia. It is also shown that these threats and their growing influence are directly related to the growing influence of digital platforms, which are strengthening their positions in relation to citizens, organizations and government. The following generalizing conclusions were made: digital platforms have ample opportunities to conduct unfair competition, violation of labor, antimonopoly and other legislation; individual cases of local violations or unfair actions add up to a single model of the development of threats around the world; in the global digital wars of corporations, the losers are citizens and states. To reduce risks and reach a long-term stabilization of digitalization threats, it is necessary to develop and implement significant methods of public and state control in the field of high technologies; first of all - to reform the labor and related legislation so that it takes into account the realities of the modern development of information technologies. It is shown that domestic legislation is still seriously lagging behind modern trends in the socio-economic structure. The research results are applicable to modern Russian jurisprudence, economics and sociology, where they relate to the issues of the digital economy and the activities of digital platforms.
