夜雨聆风最高法院审理 United States v. Apple Inc. – App Store 反垄断案
Supreme Court Hears United States v. Apple Inc. – App Store Antitrust Case
最高法院本周就美国司法部对苹果公司提出的反垄断诉讼进行口头辩论。原告指控苹果利用其在 iOS 平台的垄断地位，强制开发者只能通过 App Store 销售应用，并征收最高 30% 的佣金，限制了竞争并抬高了消费者成本。苹果辩称其平台规则是出于安全、隐私和用户体验的合理考虑，且该费用符合市场惯例。法官在判决说明中将权衡创新激励、消费者福利以及市场竞争三个维度，此案的结果可能决定是否对数字平台的商业模式实施结构性整改，并对全球 App 生态系统产生深远影响。
The Court heard oral arguments in the Justice Department’s antitrust suit against Apple, alleging the company leverages its iOS monopoly to force developers to sell exclusively through the App Store and pay up to a 30% commission, thereby stifling competition and raising consumer costs. Apple contends its rules are justified by security, privacy, and user‑experience considerations and that the fees reflect normal market practice. The justices indicated their opinion will balance incentives for innovation, consumer welfare, and market competition; the outcome could mandate structural changes to digital‑platform business models and reverberate throughout the global app ecosystem.
第九巡回法院审理 California v. TT – CCPA 违规争议案
9th Circuit Reviews California v. TT – CCPA Violation Dispute
第九巡回法院近日审理加州检察长对 TT 提出的集体诉讼，指控该平台在未取得明确同意的情况下，收集、储存并出售未成年人以及成年用户的位置信息、设备指纹和行为数据，违反 2023 年生效的《加州消费者隐私法》（CCPA）。原告提交的内部报告显示，TT 的广告系统通过跨应用数据聚合创建详细用户画像，涉及超过 2,400 万加州居民。TT 辩称已提供显著的隐私设置入口，并遵守所有联邦和州级的数据保护法规。巡回法院将评估该公司是否满足 CCPA 对“明确同意”和“最小化数据收集”的要求，判决可能为全美科技公司在州层面处理个人信息设立关键先例。
The 9th Circuit heard the California Attorney General’s class‑action alleging TT collected, stored, and sold minors’ and adults’ location, device‑fingerprint, and behavioral data without explicit consent, in violation of the 2023 California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Plaintiffs submitted internal audits showing TT’s ad platform builds detailed user profiles through cross‑app data aggregation affecting over 24 million Californians. TT argues it offers clear privacy controls and complies with all federal and state data‑protection laws. The panel will determine whether the company meets the CCPA’s “explicit consent” and “data‑minimization” standards, a ruling that could establish a pivotal precedent for how U.S. tech firms handle personal information at the state level.
华盛顿特区联邦地区法院阻止能源部《AI 能源效率报告规则》
Federal District Court in D.C. Blocks DOE’s AI Energy‑Efficiency Reporting Rule
华盛顿特区联邦地区法院本周颁布临时禁令，阻止美国能源部（DOE）实施新《AI 能源效率报告规则》，该规则要求所有年收入超过 10 亿美元的美国公司在年度财报中披露其使用生成式人工智能优化能源消费的具体算法、模型数据以及潜在节能量。行业协会和多家大型企业联合起诉，称该要求超越 DOE 在《能源政策与安全法》下的监管权限，缺乏国会授权且对商业机密构成不当披露风险。DOE 辩称 AI 已成为能源管理的关键工具，强制披露有助于实现国家碳中和目标并提升市场透明度。法官指出，除非政府提供充分的实证依据并取得明确的立法授权，否则该强制性报告将继续被阻止，此裁决将决定美国在 AI 与能源监管交叉领域的权力界限。
A federal district court in Washington, D.C. issued a preliminary injunction halting the Department of Energy’s new AI Energy‑Efficiency Reporting Rule, which would require all U.S. companies with annual revenues over $1 billion to disclose in their annual filings the specific algorithms, model data, and projected energy savings from using generative AI for energy optimization. Trade groups and several large corporations sued, arguing the mandate exceeds DOE’s authority under the Energy Policy and Security Act, lacks congressional backing, and jeopardizes trade secrets. DOE contends that AI is essential for modern energy management and that mandatory disclosure advances national carbon‑neutral goals and market transparency. The judge warned that without robust empirical support and clear legislative authorization, the compulsory reporting must remain blocked, a decision that will define the scope of federal power at the intersection of AI and energy regulation.
