Google challenges EU orders to open search data and Android AI access

  • Google challenged EU orders requiring search-data sharing and Android AI interoperability.
  • January 2027 begins search-data sharing; 11 Android features must open by mid-2027.
  • Alphabet shares fell 0.82% to $336.40 on Tuesday.

Google has challenged two European Commission orders under the Digital Markets Act that would require it to share anonymized search data with rival search engines and AI developers and open Android interoperability features to competing assistants. The company took its case to the Luxembourg-based General Court, arguing that the measures could expose private search histories and weaken Android security protections. Search-data sharing is scheduled to begin in January 2027, while Android changes due in 2027 would expand rival AI assistants' access to functions used by Google's Gemini tools. The Commission says the measures contain privacy and security safeguards. Alphabet shares fell 0.82% to $336.40 on Tuesday as investors assessed the appeal and broader concerns around AI governance.
