Alphabet’s Google has challenged two European Union orders requiring it to give rivals greater access to its search data and AI services. Google filed its appeal on Monday with the General Court in Luxembourg, the EU’s second-highest court.
The orders, issued in July under the Digital Markets Act (DMA), require Google to let competing AI developers, including OpenAI, access services available to its Gemini AI model. They also require the company to share anonymized search query and click data with rival search engines. The measures are set to take effect in 2027.
Google argues that the orders would undermine user privacy and weaken security protections on its Android platform. The European Commission says the measures include robust safeguards to protect user data. The case marks a significant escalation in the dispute between major tech platforms and EU regulators over the scope and enforcement of the DMA, which aims to increase competition in the digital sector.
