The proposed measures under the bloc’s Digital Markets Act, or DMA, would give access to ranking, query, click and view data to enable third-party online search engines to “optimize their search services and contest Google Search’s position,” according to the Brussels-based commission. If adopted, they could entail opening up that data to Google’s biggest competitors in AI, such as OpenAI and Anthropic PBC.

So sick of these Eurocrats meddling in the market. Why should a private business have to handicap itself to the benefit of its competitors?

Because you can’t fairly compete against existing giants for many reasons. And that is bad for society.
