Apple was hit with a 150 million euro ($162.4 million) fine by French antitrust regulators on Monday for abusing its dominant position in mobile app advertising on its devices via a privacy control tool.
周一，法国竞争管理局对苹果公司处以1.5亿欧元（约合1.624亿美元）的罚款，原因是苹果公司通过一种隐私控制工具滥用其在移动应用广告领域的主导地位。
The fine - the first by any antitrust regulator over Apple's App Tracking Transparency tool - comes a year after the European Union hit the company with a 1.8 billion euro antitrust fine for thwarting rival music streaming services on its App Store.
这是法国竞争管理局首次对苹果的应用跟踪透明度工具处以罚款。一年前，欧盟因苹果在其应用商店阻挠竞争对手的音乐流媒体服务而对其处以18亿欧元的反垄断罚款。
The French case, which covered the period 2021 to 2023, was triggered by complaints from several associations for online advertisers, publishers and internet networks accusing Apple of abusing its market power.
法国的这起案件涵盖了2021年至2023年期间，是由几家在线广告商、出版商和互联网网络协会的投诉引发的，这些协会指控苹果滥用其市场力量。
"While the objective pursued by ATT is not in itself open to criticism, the way it is implemented is neither necessary nor proportionate to Apple's stated objective of protecting personal data," the regulator said in a statement.
该监管机构在一份声明中表示：“尽管ATT追求的目标本身并不容易受到批评，但它的实施方式既没有必要，也与苹果宣称的保护个人数据的目标不相称。”
It added that the privacy tool "particularly penalized smaller publishers," as they depend to a large extent on the collection of third-party data to fund their businesses.
它补充说，隐私工具“特别惩罚了较小的出版商”，因为它们在很大程度上依赖于收集第三方数据来为自己的业务提供资金。
