October 27, 2020<\/em><\/p>\n Dear Executive Vice President Vestager,<\/p>\n We are companies operating search engines that compete against Google. As you know, we are deeply dissatisfied with the so-called remedy created by Google to address the adverse effects of its anticompetitive conduct in the Android case. We understand that Google regularly updates you regarding its pay-to-play auction, but it appears that you may not be receiving complete or accurate information.<\/p>\n We are writing to request a trilateral meeting with your office, ourselves, and Google, with the goal of establishing an effective preference menu. Our respective designees could work in advance to create a tight agenda for this meeting to ensure it is productive and collaborative.<\/p>\n We are heartfelt supporters of the Commission’s ambition to remediate entrenched Google competition harms. We are asking to put these intentions into practice now, making full use of your existing tools.<\/p>\n Thank you in advance for your consideration.<\/p>\n Yours sincerely,<\/p>\n DuckDuckGo<\/strong> – United StatesSIGNATORIES<\/em><\/h3>\n
