Default Status/De Facto Exclusion: What does a Rival Search Company Have to Say About the Google Case?
Description
On this episode of Ruled by Reason, we explore the ramifications of the Google search case from a unique perspective—the rival search engines that have been directly affected by Google’s alleged monopolistic conduct. As the antitrust world eagerly awaits a decision this spring, AAI’s Kathleen Bradish interviews DuckDuckGo's Kamyl Bazbaz, VP of Communications and Public Affairs, about his impressions of the recently argued case. This episode unpacks how Google’s conduct, including “marathon” sized payments to OEMs to ensure default status, cuts rivals off from major access points and stymies customer choice. Bazbaz weighs in on the potential remedies that could help restore competition to search and improve customer’s online experience.
