The European Commission has announced new binding measures under the Digital Markets Act, requiring Google to share search data and grant competing AI platforms equal access to Android system features. Currently, Google's Gemini enjoys preferential preloading and hotword activation, but the ruling mandates interoperability to boost competition.
Google has criticized the decision, citing privacy and security risks, but as a designated gatekeeper it must comply. The changes are legally binding and aim to give EU users more choice while limiting Big Tech dominance.
