I think this case is a net loss if it does change Apple’s practices in France. They’re fining Apple for making it more difficult for advertisers and developers to track users across apps. It’s not like the tool Apple has here is actually private, it pretty much just lets them monopolize tracking users’ app usage, but it still minimizes the number of parties getting access to this private data. It’s more private than not having it as the ruling here seems to desire.
