Google is warning that the European Commission’s planned regulations could create serious security and privacy risks, with VP of security engineering Heather Adkins telling Wired the changes could drive a significant rise in EU fraud within weeks of taking effect. The proposals would strip Gemini of its status as the sole integrated AI on Android, letting users give rival AI models the same system-level access to files, screen content, and voice, while separately forcing Google to share granular anonymized search data, including query content, ranking, and click rates, with competitors. Google argues anonymization is hard and that its own teams have re-identified such data in as little as two hours through linkage attacks, making smaller EU firms holding it a target. The Commission expects a binding decision on July 27 under the Digital Markets Act.
