Digital Markets Act

Google is pushing back against a European Union effort that would require it to open Android to rival AI assistants. The dispute forms part of ongoing enforcement of the EU's Digital Markets Act, under which Brussels has pressed the company to give competitors greater access to its dominant mobile platform. Google argues the changes would harm user security and privacy, while regulators see them as key to fair competition in the fast-moving AI market.

Google has filed an appeal against a European Union decision requiring it to share certain search data with rivals under the Digital Markets Act. The dispute centres on the bloc's mandate that the company make parts of its search results data available to competitors. The case adds to ongoing friction between Google and European regulators over the scope of the new competition rules.
