The German antitrust authority has notified Apple of concerns regarding its App Tracking Transparency (ATT) tool, suggesting it could violate rules for large technology companies. This raises questions about Apple's privacy framework in the EU. The regulator's warning indicates potential legal challenges to how Apple implements privacy features, particularly if they are perceived to disadvantage competitors or restrict market access. This development highlights the ongoing tension between Apple's privacy-focused approach and European antitrust regulations, which aim to ensure fair competition in digital markets.
