Google warns EU antitrust regulations could compromise user privacy
By
Ryan Whitwam
Summary
Google is pushing back against upcoming EU regulations that would require the company to share search data with competitors and open up AI capabilities on Android. Google's VP of security engineering, Heather Adkins, frames the company's opposition as a privacy concern rather than an anticompetitive stance, arguing that sharing user data could expose sensitive information. The European Commission is expected to announce new regulations next month as part of its ongoing efforts to rein in Big Tech's market dominance in Europe.
