“France’s antitrust regulatory agency fined Apple millions of dollars, saying its digital framework negatively impacted online advertising via third-party pop-ups on Apple’s iOS and iPadOS operating systems. On Friday, France’s Competition Authority, or Autorité de la concurrence, issued a ruling that fined Apple more than $162 million alleging its App Tracking Transparency, or ATT, digital privacy framework caused ‘definite harm’ to advertisers and app publishers in violation of French antitrust laws which ‘could have been avoided by marginal modification’ to Apple’s framework.” (03/31/25)
