Google should share search data to break its monopoly, European Commission suggests
"Teresa Ribera stated that the decision 'sets out the specifications we expect Google to follow to comply with its obligations under the [DMA]. Data is a key input for online search and for developing new services, including AI.'"
"Clare Kelly, senior competition counsel for Google, remarked that 'hundreds of millions of Europeans trust Google with their most sensitive searches, including private questions about their health, family, and finances, and the Commission's proposal would force us to hand this data over to third parties, with dangerously ineffective privacy protections.'"
The European Commission has requested Google to permit third-party search engines in Europe access to its search data to comply with the Digital Markets Act. This legislation aims to create fairer and more contestable digital markets. Proposed measures include granting access to search data on fair terms. Teresa Ribera emphasized the importance of data for online search and AI development. Google expressed concerns about privacy, stating that the proposal could compromise user data protection.
