Google asked the EU General Court on September 29 to overturn the two Digital Markets Act orders the European Commission issued against it in July, though the appeals don’t pause either deadline unless the court grants a suspension, according to Reuters. One order has Google giving other search engines and AI chatbots anonymized query, click, and ranking data from January 2027, and the other makes it open 11 Android features reserved for Gemini to rival assistants by August 2027. Google competition director Oliver Bethell said sharing people’s searches without better protections would do lasting damage to privacy. The Commission says it will defend both orders and that Google can still turn away firms that pose a real security or privacy risk.
