- Google says the EU’s latest DMA proposals could expose millions of users to greater privacy and security risks in the name of boosting competition.
- Google warns that giving third-party AI assistants deeper access to Android could make fraud and cyberattacks easier.
- The EU wants Google to share anonymized search queries, click data, and ranking information with rivals to help level the playing field.
Google is stepping up its fight against the European Union’s new Digital Markets Act (DMA) proposals, arguing that rules meant to loosen its grip on Search and Android could introduce new privacy and security risks for millions of users.
The warning comes as the European Commission prepares final decisions on separate cases for Google Search and Android interoperability by July 27. The DMA, which came into force to curb the power of dominant tech platforms, requires so-called gatekeepers to open parts of their ecosystems to competitors. Those rules apply to Alphabet, Apple, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, ByteDance, and many others. For Google, that involves opening up more search data to rival search engines and granting third-party AI services greater access to Android.
