Apple was hit with a 150 million euro ($162.4 million) fine by French antitrust regulators on Monday for abusing its dominant position in mobile app advertising on its devices via a privacy control tool.
周一,法國(guó)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)管理局對(duì)蘋果公司處以1.5億歐元(約合1.624億美元)的罰款,原因是蘋果公司通過(guò)一種隱私控制工具濫用其在移動(dòng)應(yīng)用廣告領(lǐng)域的主導(dǎo)地位。
The fine - the first by any antitrust regulator over Apple's App Tracking Transparency tool - comes a year after the European Union hit the company with a 1.8 billion euro antitrust fine for thwarting rival music streaming services on its App Store.
這是法國(guó)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)管理局首次對(duì)蘋果的應(yīng)用跟蹤透明度工具處以罰款。一年前,歐盟因蘋果在其應(yīng)用商店阻撓競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手的音樂(lè)流媒體服務(wù)而對(duì)其處以18億歐元的反壟斷罰款。
The French case, which covered the period 2021 to 2023, was triggered by complaints from several associations for online advertisers, publishers and internet networks accusing Apple of abusing its market power.
法國(guó)的這起案件涵蓋了2021年至2023年期間,是由幾家在線廣告商、出版商和互聯(lián)網(wǎng)網(wǎng)絡(luò)協(xié)會(huì)的投訴引發(fā)的,這些協(xié)會(huì)指控蘋果濫用其市場(chǎng)力量。
"While the objective pursued by ATT is not in itself open to criticism, the way it is implemented is neither necessary nor proportionate to Apple's stated objective of protecting personal data," the regulator said in a statement.
該監(jiān)管機(jī)構(gòu)在一份聲明中表示:“盡管ATT追求的目標(biāo)本身并不容易受到批評(píng),但它的實(shí)施方式既沒有必要,也與蘋果宣稱的保護(hù)個(gè)人數(shù)據(jù)的目標(biāo)不相稱。”
It added that the privacy tool "particularly penalized smaller publishers," as they depend to a large extent on the collection of third-party data to fund their businesses.
