The European Union has taken significant steps to reshape the digital landscape by challenging Google's dominance over the Android operating system.
歐盟已採取重大措施,透過挑戰 Google 對 Android 作業系統的壟斷地位,來重塑數位版圖。
First, the 2018 antitrust case concluded in 2026, where the European Court of Justice upheld a massive fine against Google for anticompetitive practices, such as requiring manufacturers to pre-install Google apps and restricting alternative versions of Android.
首先是 2018 年的反壟斷案,該案於 2026 年結案,歐洲法院支持對 Google 處以巨額罰款,理由是其存在反競爭行為,例如要求製造商預先安裝 Google 應用程式,並限制 Android 的替代版本。
Unlike the earlier punitive fines, these are prescriptive measures designed to foster future competition.
與早期的懲罰性罰款不同,這些屬於規定性措施,旨在促進未來的競爭。
Google is now required to allow rival AI assistants deep access to Android features and to share search-related data with competitors.
Google 現在必須允許競爭對手的 AI 助理深入存取 Android 功能,並與競爭對手共用與搜尋相關的資料。
By mandating these technical changes, the EU aims to ensure that Google's gatekeeper status does not stifle innovation in emerging fields like artificial intelligence.
歐盟透過強制執行這些技術變更,旨在確保 Google 的「守門人」地位不會扼殺人工智慧等新興領域的創新。
