The second paragraph has what you want. From the article:
> The App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework used by Apple on iPhones and iPads since 2021 makes the use of third-party applications too complex and hurts small companies that rely on advertising revenue ... The system harms "smaller publishers in particular since, unlike the main vertically integrated platforms, they depend to a large extent on third-party data collection to finance their business," the agency said.
Is there another way to interpret this than that the agency wants to protect advertizing and data collection practices by small businesses?
