Google has opened a new legal front against European Union regulators over requirements under the Digital Markets Act, which is designed to promote greater competition across the technology sector.
The company argues that some of the measures it is required to implement could affect user privacy and the security of its services, with the new changes scheduled to take effect next year.
Google submitted its challenges on Monday to the EU’s General Court in Luxembourg, contesting regulatory decisions linked to the digital markets legislation.
Oliver Bethell, Google’s senior director of competition, said the company was challenging measures that could require it to share users’ search histories without adequate anonymisation, while also potentially reducing important security safeguards on Android.
