Google Scientist Warns EU Data Measures Risk User Privacy; GOOG Pre-Market $389.76
A Google scientist warned EU antitrust regulators that Digital Markets Act proposals to share search data—including ranking, query, click, and view data—with rivals like OpenAI expose users to re-identification risks, as Google's red team achieved it in under two hours. Initial exclusives on May 5 revealed the concerns and an upcoming meeting to push for stronger anonymization guardrails. A May 6 report reiterated the privacy and competitive edge issues amid the Commission's July 27, 2026 deadline, with non-compliance risking fines up to 10% of Alphabet's global revenue. GOOG traded at $384.27 (+1.22%), pre-market $389.76 (+1.43%), amid regulatory uncertainty.
