Google asks EU court to suspend search-data sharing order

  • Google asked the Luxembourg General Court to suspend the EU search-data sharing order.
  • The European Commission issued the order in July to support competition with Google Search.
  • Google also challenged the order in court on Tuesday, citing privacy risks for European users.

Google has asked the Luxembourg General Court to suspend an EU order requiring it to share search data with OpenAI and rival search engines. The company filed the request for an interim measure after taking the European Commission to court on Tuesday, arguing that the order could cause serious harm to the privacy of European users. The Commission, which also serves as the EU competition enforcer, issued the order in July to help AI chatbots and other rivals compete with Google Search and give businesses and users more choice. Google says the measure could weaken privacy and security safeguards for millions of Europeans, while the Commission says its decision accounts for integrity, security and the protection of end users’ personal data.
