The author performed a comparative analysis of the legislation of the European Union and the US, summarized antimonopoly regulation practices, and considered doctrinal sources and modern empirical data. The methods used include content analysis of regulations, case studies of the largest digital companies, and elements of forecasting the impact of regulatory changes on innovation activity and market dynamics.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results: various approaches to regulation of mergers and acquisitions in the digital economy were considered. The peculiarities of law enforcement in the European Union and the USA were analyzed. It was proved that strict antitrust measures can both restrain market concentration and create barriers to innovation. The author found that the practice of applying the EU Law on Digital Markets and the US relevant acts significantly affects structural changes in the technology sector, forming new competition models. Recommendations are given on improving international cooperation and developing common and fair regulatory standards for digital markets. Special attention is paid to the problems of determining the dominant position, regulatory control, and specific features of digital markets.</p></sec><sec><title>Scientific novelty</title><p>Scientific novelty: the article systematically compares the regulatory regimes of the world’s leading jurisdictions through the prism of digital mergers and acquisitions. It expands the categorical apparatus through modern approaches to the analysis of network effects, competition for data, and new forms of market power. The author applies his own criterion for analyzing the comprehensive examination of transactions from the viewpoint of sustainability and innovation potential.</p></sec><sec><title>Practical significance</title><p>Practical significance: the conclusions and recommendations contribute to the formation of a more flexible and adaptive regulatory policy towards technology giants, which is essential for lawmakers, regulators, corporate strategists and researchers of the digital economy.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><sec><title>Цель</title><p>Цель: определить характер и степень влияния антимонопольного законодательства Европейского союза и Соединенных Штатов Америки на процессы слияний и поглощений в технологическом секторе.</p></sec><sec><title>Методы</title><p>Методы: в работе использован сравнительный и междисциплинарный подход, сочетающий правовой анализ и экономическое моделирование. Проведен сравнительный анализ законодательства Европейского союза и Соединенных Штатов Америки, обобщение практик антимонопольного регулирования, рассмотрены доктринальные источники и современные эмпирические данные. Использованы методы контент-анализа нормативных актов, кейс-стади крупнейших цифровых компаний, а также элементы прогнозирования влияния регуляторных изменений на инновационную активность и динамику рынка.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты: рассмотрены различные подходы к регулированию слияний и поглощений в цифровой экономике, проанализированы особенности правоприменения в Европейском союзе и Соединенных Штатах Америки. Обосновано, что строгие антимонопольные меры могут как сдерживать рыночную концентрацию, так и создавать барьеры для внедрения инноваций. Установлено, что практика применения Закона о цифровых рынках в Европейском союзе и соответствующих актов Соединенных Штатов Америки существенно влияет на структурные изменения в технологическом секторе, формируя новые модели конкурентной борьбы. Приведены рекомендации по совершенствованию международного сотрудничества и выработке единых справедливых регуляторных стандартов для цифровых рынков. Особое внимание уделяется проблемам определения доминирующего положения, регулятивного контроля и специфическим особенностям цифровых рынков.</p></sec><sec><title>Научная новизна</title><p>Научная новизна: статья системно сопоставляет регулятивные режимы ведущих мировых юрисдикций сквозь призму цифровых слия­ний и поглощений, расширяя категориальный аппарат за счет современных подходов к анализу сетевых эффектов, конкуренции за данные и новых форм рыночной власти. Применен авторский критерий анализа комплексной экспертизы сделок с точки зрения устойчивости и инновационного потенциала.</p></sec><sec><title>Практическая значимость</title><p>Практическая значимость: выводы и рекомендации работы способствуют формированию более гибкой и адаптивной политики регулирования в отношении технологических гигантов, что важно для законотворцев, регуляторов, корпоративных стратегов и исследователей цифровой экономики.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>антимонопольное законодательство</kwd><kwd>доминирующее положение</kwd><kwd>законодательство</kwd><kwd>конкуренция</kwd><kwd>право</kwd><kwd>слияние и поглощение</kwd><kwd>технологический гигант</kwd><kwd>технологический сектор</kwd><kwd>цифровая экономика</kwd><kwd>цифровые технологии</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>antimonopoly legislation</kwd><kwd>competition</kwd><kwd>digital economy</kwd><kwd>digital technologies</kwd><kwd>dominant position</kwd><kwd>law</kwd><kwd>legislation</kwd><kwd>mergers and acquisitions</kwd><kwd>technology giant</kwd><kwd>technology sector</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Abbott, A.
