The EU is imposing new rules on Google: tightening on Android and search engine

The European Commission has imposed two binding decisions against Google under the Digital Markets Act (DMA), aiming to curb the power of large digital platforms and promote competition. The first measure requires Google to make Android more interoperable with third-party services, including those based on artificial intelligence. The second mandates that Google share some data generated by Google Search with competing search engines to create a more equitable market. These new rules will take effect in two phases: data sharing will begin in January 2027, while Android modifications will be implemented by July 2027. Google’s President, Kent Walker, expressed concerns that these measures could compromise user privacy and device security, arguing they ignore potential risks to users.

Bias read (Center): The article presents the European Commission's regulatory actions against Google as a balanced report, citing both the legal framework (DMA) and Google's concerns.
