European Commission Mandates Google Data and Android Access
EU forces Google to open Android and search data to rivals.
Event Overview
The European Commission has ordered Google to share search query and ranking data with competitors for a fee and grant third-party AI assistants the same Android system access as Gemini. This mandate includes access to 11 specific features, such as camera, microphone, and voice command activation, by August 1, 2027. Google must implement a three-pass anonymization process for search data and follow a certification regime for restricted features via the Qualified AI Assistant Programme.
