EU orders Google to open Android, Search to rivals under Digital Markets Act

The EU has ordered Google to open Android and Search data to rivals, including OpenAI, under the Digital Markets Act. This regulatory move aims to foster competition, although increased scrutiny may weaken Alphabet's market position and negatively impact its stock performance by 2026. By forcing the sharing of data with AI competitors, the EU seeks to reduce Google's dominance. These mandates represent a significant shift in regulatory pressure regarding the company's competitive edge.
