#19 New Remedies for Search Engines w/ Dr. Jasper van den Boom

In this conversation, we talked through the implications of Article 6(11) of the Digital Markets Act (DMA) and its impact on data access for search engines, particularly focusing on Google's compliance and the competitive landscape. The discussion highlights consumer behaviour in search engine usage, the challenges posed by Google's dominance, and the procedural aspects of implementing the DMA. Key themes include the negotiation dynamics between Google and access seekers, the role of AI chatbots in data access, and the future of search engines in a rapidly evolving digital environment.Jasper recently published: 1.
