• The European Commission issued two binding orders under the Digital Markets Act (DMA) on Wednesday, requiring Google to modify its Android and Search services. • These orders aim to curb Google's market dominance by forcing the company to ensure fair competition and prevent the preferential treatment of its own services. • A taxpayer watchdog has criticized the move as "tech overreach," arguing that the EU's regulatory approach may stifle innovation and exceed the DMA's intended scope.

• A federal judge in Oregon ruled on March 20, 2026, that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services under Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. overreached by issuing a December declaration labeling puberty blockers and surgeries for gender dysphoria as unsafe without proper procedures. • The declaration warned doctors of exclusion from Medicare and Medicaid for providing such treatments, prompting a lawsuit led by New York Attorney General Letitia James alleging coercion and lack of public notice or comment period. • The ruling provides legal clarity for patients, families, and providers, affirming that transgender health services remain available despite major medical groups like the AMA opposing restrictions.
