Gate News message, April 28 — The European Commission on April 27 proposed measures requiring Google to grant competing search and AI services access to Android and Gemini capabilities under the Digital Markets Act (DMA). The regulator noted that Google currently reserves certain Android features exclusively for Gemini.
The proposed changes would enable rival AI tools to integrate with Android apps for functions including email, food ordering, and photo sharing. Google opposed the plan, arguing it would limit device makers’ control and could increase costs while weakening privacy and security protections. The Commission will accept feedback until May 13 and is expected to decide on Google’s compliance by end of July; non-compliance could result in fines up to 10% of annual global revenue.
This action reflects the EU’s shift toward prescriptive enforcement. In 2017, Google was fined €2.4 billion over its shopping service after directing over 99% of Shopping Unit clicks to its own merchants, largely excluding rival comparison services. The current specification aims to prevent similar competitive advantages in AI and data access.

Pentagon Chief Technology Officer: Anthropic still on the blacklist, Mythos exception handling
The Pentagon’s technology chief (Pentagon technology chief) told Congress on May 1 that “Anthropic is still on the blacklist, but Mythos Preview is another matter,” formally acknowledging that the Department of Defense is treating Anthropic’s main brand and its new model, Mythos, differently. This statement aligns with what Axios revealed on April 19, that the NSA (National Security Agency) has already effectively used Mythos, and it also formally established the policy direction of a “Mythos exception pipeline”—while also meaning the Pentagon previously argued in court that using Anthropic tools would threaten national security, creating an internal contradiction between its legal arguments and its current practical actions.
