Google appeals EU orders on rival AI access to Android and search-data sharing
VraserX · x · 2026-10-01
Google is appealing two EU orders: one covering rival AI assistants' access to Android, and another on search-data sharing. Google cites privacy and security concerns, while the Commission says its safeguards are robust.
The author argues users should be able to choose the assistant that can actually use their phone — if Gemini gets privileged access, rivals should be allowed to compete under the same security requirements. They also open the question of which phone functions a manufacturer should be allowed to reserve for its own AI.
