**What it does not test.** This does not establish that any rival assistant or search engine has yet gained access, or that Google will not appeal.

**How this item counts.** No movement: no answer to who owns, who operates, whose law governs or who made the parts changes. Weight 0\. Binding order forces Android/Search interoperability; Google still owns/operates, no access yet.. [European Sovereignty Index](https://sovereigntymonitor.eu/sovereignty-index/)
