FTC Fines Samsung 20B Won Over GOS Ads
On October 27, South Korea's Fair Trade Commission (FTC) decided to impose a tentative fine of about 20 billion won ($15.1 million) on Samsung Electronics for misleading advertisements that concealed how the Game Optimizing Service (GOS) limits maximum performance on Galaxy S21, S22, and Tab S8 devices during high-spec gaming, citing violations of the label advertising law. Yonhap reports the FTC also issued a corrective order. Samsung has declared it will contest the decision through legal action, with a statement saying it is difficult to agree with the FTC's conclusion, noting that related litigation has already concluded. Business Korea and the Dong-A Ilbo report the company's challenge, with the latter quoting Samsung's stance that it will fight the surcharge in court.
