Italy's Competition Authority (AGCM) has imposed a €98.6 million ($116 million) fine on Apple over its App Tracking Transparency feature. Since the release of iOS 14.5 in April 2021, Apple has required apps to ask for permission before tracking a user's activity across other apps and websites for personalized advertising, as part of a feature named App Tracking Transparency.

    I can’t fathom any of the pro Apple comments being human beings, given it takes an exponentially stupid imbecile to not understand Apple implemented the same feature as GDPR and went with an added Apple branded one to hide the fact they were following local law. In fact, the biggest issue here is the small size of the fine. We should hurt US companies for their outsized role in bringing fascism back to our land!
