Abstract
This article focuses on the regulation of some problematic social media platforms behaviour through the article 102 TFEU. Given the technological development in the field of social media networks, there is a need to reconsider application and interpretation of the European Competition Law.
It argues that social platforms in a dominant position should be through the article 102 TFEU, in conjunction with the doctrine of prohibition to refuse to provide services, called to adhere to the free speech standard of protection as stated and interpreted in the European human rights law standard.
