Apple sued for $2.7B over App Tracking Transparency favoritism

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Apple is facing a $2.7 billion lawsuit alleging its App Tracking Transparency (ATT) policy unfairly favors its own services over third-party developers. The suit claims the policy, designed to give users control over tracking, is more restrictive for external apps than for Apple's internal advertising ecosystem. This legal challenge follows similar investigations and fines from regulators in Europe, including Germany's Federal Cartel Office and France's Competition Authority, which have also raised concerns about Apple's self-preferencing.
