EU orders Google to share data, open Android

The EU has ordered Google to share search data with competing engines and open Android to rival AI services under the Digital Markets Act, with data-sharing beginning January 2027 and Android changes from July 2027. Google argues the measures risk privacy and security, while the EU says they are necessary to level competition and expand user choice. You now have legal right to Google's search data and a guaranteed slot on Android for your AI assistant in the EU, but only if you move fast before July 2027. The barrier between you and Google's moat just got dismantled by regulation—this is a three-year window to build a search or voice AI alternative that can actually compete.
