Italy fines Apple nearly 100m euros over app privacy feature
Rome: Italy’s competition authority said Monday it had fined US tech giant Apple 98 million euros ($115 million) for allegedly abusing its dominant position in the mobile app market.
The AGCM said in a statement that Apple had violated privacy regulations for third-party developers in a market where it “holds a super-dominant position through its App Store”.
The body said its investigation had established the “restrictive nature” of the “privacy rules imposed by Apple… on third-party developers of apps distributed through the App Store”.
