Google: EU-mandated changes undermine privacy

The EU has ordered Google to grant competing AI assistants and search engines comparable access to Android and Google Search data by January 2027 under the Digital Markets Act; Google argues this undermines privacy protections for European users. If you build an AI assistant or search engine in Europe, you now have legal access to data that Google has held exclusively for fifteen years; the question is whether Google's privacy objection buys them time or whether January 2027 is a hard cutoff you can actually build against.
