The Autorit\u00e9 de la concurrence\u00a0condemned the company\u2019s approach as \u201cneither necessary for nor proportionate with Apple\u2019s stated objective of protecting personal data.\u201dIn 2021, Apple introduced App Tracking Transparency\u00a0(ATT), a tool designed to give users more control over their personal data. The feature prompts users to consent to data collection on third-party applications within the iOS and iPadOS ecosystem, limiting targeted advertising unless explicitly allowed.While Apple has promoted ATT as a major step toward protecting user privacy, regulators in France argue that the system may also serve to reinforce the company\u2019s dominance by restricting competitors&#8217; access to valuable data.In Monday\u2019s decision, the French watchdog did not question the ATT itself but found its implementation methods \u201cartificially complicate the use of third-party applications and distort the neutrality of the framework to the detriment of small publishers financed by advertising.\u201dAccording to the French regulator \u201cmultiple consent pop-ups are displayed, making the use of third-party applications in the iOS environment excessively complex.\u201d It added that \u201cwhile advertising tracking only needs to be refused once, the user must always confirm their consent a second time.\u201dThe result was an asymmetric system, the antitrust watchdog said, whereby publishers were required to obtain double consent from users for tracking on third-party sites and applications, while Apple did not ask for consent from users of its own applications.Apple reacted in a statement Monday claiming that ATT \u201cgives users more control of their privacy through a required, clear, and easy-to-understand prompt about one thing: tracking.\u201d It added \u201cthat prompt is consistent for all developers, including Apple, and we have received strong support for this feature from consumers, privacy advocates, and data protection authorities around the world.&#8221;The EU is expected to close two investigations into Apple under its Digital Markets Act in the coming days. One targets the rules of the App store and whether they prevent app developers from informing users about offers outside its App Store free of charge; another concerns Apple\u2019s browser options on iPhones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summarize this content to 2000 words in 6 paragraphs in Arabic Without directly condemning Apple\u2019s data collection tool, the antitrust regulator has determined that the conditions surrounding its implementation amounted to an abuse of a dominant market position.
