France’s antitrust regulator fined Apple Inc. €150 million ($162 million) after a lengthy probe into how the technology company asks to collect iOS users’ data and the impact on advertisers.
Apple’s ATT system is not allowing app publishers to comply with Europe’s GDPR privacy rules, the authority said, forcing these apps to display multiple pop-ups and making their use excessively complex.
So… Nothing
I imagine fines repeat and increase if non-compliance continues. €150M is a baseline ;)
And Apple is just calculating when the costs are justifying a required change. This is really not much of a blow to the walled garden strategy.
