""Today's decision sets out the specifications we expect Google to follow to comply with its obligations under the Digital Markets Act. Data is a key input for online search and for developing new services, including AI.""
""Access to this data should not be restricted in ways that could harm competition. In fast-moving markets, small changes can quickly have a big impact. We will not allow practices that risk closing markets or limiting choice.""
""Hundreds of millions of Europeans trust Google with their most sensitive searches - including private questions about their health, family, and finances - and the Commission's proposal would force us to hand this data over to third parties, with dangerously ineffective privacy protections.""
""We will continue to vigorously defend against this overreach, which far exceeds the DMA's original mandate and jeopardizes people's privacy and security.""
The European Commission has mandated Google to provide key search data to competitors under the Digital Markets Act. This includes rankings, queries, clicks, and views, ensuring fair access for rival search engines and AI chatbots. The goal is to foster competition and prevent market closure. Teresa Ribera emphasized the importance of data for online search and new service development. Google has expressed strong opposition, claiming the demands exceed the DMA's mandate and threaten user privacy and security.
