Of the house of the software, Pennsylvania, he had to interfere now, during the proceedings, antitrust, which was developed in the United States. DuckDuckGo is now required by the European Commission launched three investigations against Google for violations of the Law of the Markets, the Digital (DMA). Two of the procedure is started at the end of the month of march, but it does not have to be new, for that matter.
Google does not respect the DMA
As shall be determined by a decision of the United States, Google has a monopoly in the market for engines for search. Therefore, DuckDuckGo, requires the initiation of an investigation for violations of art. 6, paragraph 11 of the DMA. This article will provide access to certain information from your competitors:
Iatekeeper is required to ensure that companies and other third parties to provide search engines on the internet, at their request, have access to the conditions to be right, reasonable and non-discriminatory manner, in setup, search, click and view the data going to the final set up of the user's search engines in the internet. Search, click and check the information constituting the personal data are made anonymous.
Google has introduced a program for the licensing of the data with the search. By DuckDuckGo, the solution is useless because the data refer only to the questions required more than 30 times in the 13 months from 30 of the user of the specific have been identified. This removes about 99% of the questions.
The second probe should be launched for the infringement of Art. 6 from paragraph 3, in conjunction with the settings of the default, and the display of choice for the search engine, web browser, and the assistant virtual. Google does not provide a way to change the engine and the default search on Android devices and Chrome os.
Unlike Apple, Google does not introduce yet another screen, select Google for the search engine and the browser. From what is available in Chrome for desktop, and iOS platforms, on-going research by DuckDuckGo increased by 75%. Finally, the European Commission should launch an investigation into the violation of art. 6, paragraph 4, because Google does not allow any browser or application, seeking to set it as the default, when downloaded from the Play Store.
As Google seeks to bypass the obligations of the DMA, the proposed changes must be tested and certified by a third party prior to implementation.
