  "account": "The European Union has ordered Google to share data with competing search engines and open up its Android platform to rival AI services, as part of the Digital Markets Act (DMA). However, Google has appealed this decision, citing privacy concerns. The EU's decision, issued in July, aims to promote competition and give users more choices, but Google argues that sharing private search histories without sufficient anonymisation and opening Android to AI rivals would weaken security protections and harm user privacy. Google's senior director for competition, Oliver Bethell, stated that the appeal was filed with the Court of Justice of the European Union, citing the potential irreversible harm to user privacy.",
  "summary": "The US internet giant says mandating personal query sharing without adequate safeguards would cause irreversible harm to user privacy.",
