The U.S. Federal Trade Commission, the de-facto federal privacy regulator, said on Friday that the U.S. Department of Justice's proposal to make Alphabet's Google share search data with competitors includes adequate safeguards to protect users' privacy.

The government’s proposal to make Google share its search data with competitors would “deeply undermine user trust” by putting queries in the hands of potentially less secure rivals, the company’s search chief Elizabeth Reid testified Tuesday.

We’re talking about the Search case that Google lost, not the one related to its ad dominance, that’s something else entirely. Google Search chief believes the DOJ’s remedy proposals are a huge mistake Elizabeth Reid took the stand during the final week of the remedies trial.
