Google's top privacy and security staff are warning that proposed EU regulatory changes under the Digital Markets Act — which would force Google to open up its Search and Android systems to competitors — could lead to increased hacking risks for user search queries and a rise in cybercrime. The European Commission is set to make final decisions next month on two cases concerning Google Search and Android interoperability. Google claims the pro-competition proposals contain serious privacy and security flaws.
