Freshly caffeinated, I sat down to listen to a panel on the role of operating systems in secure and privacy-preserving AI deployment. With agentic AI assistants such as Anthropic\u2019s Claude Code and OpenAI\u2019s Codex being connected to millions of people\u2019s desktop operating systems every week, I was looking forward to hearing more about solutions to privacy and security challenges.<\/p>\n<p>However, instead of a discussion about design choices and technical privacy and security protections, I found myself subjected to a passionate defense of Google\u2019s right not to open its mobile operating system up to third parties\u2019 AI systems. But it wasn\u2019t Google calling out the European Commission for its proposal on Android AI interoperability measures, referring to them as \u201ca privacy and security disaster\u201d and \u201ca policy incoherence with safety.\u201d It was Apple.<\/p>\n<p>Why might Apple, Google\u2019s great rival in the battle for mobile operating system supremacy, so vociferously defend its biggest competitor?<\/p>\n<p>Fear. Fear of a threat greater than Google\u2019s competition. Fear of regulatory intervention that is forcing it, after a two-decade run, to open its infamously closed mobile ecosystem to third-party alternatives to the App Store and Siri. For this is what the Commission, under the Digital Markets Act (DMA), is moving towards.<\/p>\n<p>Tech giants whose market dominance depends on tight control over closed platforms have responded by strategically leveraging privacy and security language as a shield against interventions that would dilute that control, giving users more choice and rivals a chance to compete.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"Moving-through-the-DMAs-gears-the-EUs-pro-competitive-interventions\">Moving through the DMA\u2019s gears: the EU\u2019s pro-competitive interventions<\/h2>\n<p>Three years after its entry into force, the Commission\u2019s application of the DMA is gaining momentum. This includes making use of some of the most promising tools at its disposal to prise open closed digital ecosystems:&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techpolicy.press\/google-and-apples-antidma-lobbying-strategy-goes-allin-on-security-and-privacy\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google and Apple\u2019s anti-DMA Lobbying Strategy Goes All-in on Security and Privacy https:\/\/www.techpolicy.press\/google-and-apples-antidma-lobbying-strategy-goes-allin-on-security-and-privacy Publish Date:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":281495,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cdn.sanity.io\/images\/3tzzh18d\/production\/9f7c2137603477ac64a642128f931d4f6c3b8cc6-1200x675.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-281493","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-privacy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281493"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=281493"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281493\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":281497,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281493\/revisions\/281497"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/281495"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=281493"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=281493"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=281493"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
