The European Union demanded Thursday that Google share data with other search engines and open up its Android system to rival AI services, but the US giant said the measures would put privacy at risk.
The move is the latest by Brussels against the behemoth as it seeks to flex its muscles over Big Tech.
The order was made under the EU's flagship Digital Markets Act (DMA), which forces the world's biggest tech firms to open to competition in a bid to give users more choice.
The DMA is the bete noire of US President Donald Trump's administration, which accuses Brussels of unfairly targeting American companies.
Brussels said Google must start sharing search data from January 2027 and users would start benefitting from the changes to Android from July 2027.
