Google should allow third-party search engines access to data, EU says

What Happened

The European Commission proposed that Google share its search data with third-party search engines to comply with the Digital Markets Act. Google's senior competition counsel said the company would fight the measures, citing privacy concerns. The EU's proposal covers data scope, anonymization measures, beneficiary access processes, and pricing parameters. Interested parties can submit views until May 1, with a final decision in July. Google faces potential fines up to 10 percent of global annual revenue.
