Samsung fined $15M for misleading gaming ads
South Korea's antitrust watchdog, the Fair Trade Commission (FTC), has decided to impose a tentative fine of 20 billion won ($15.1 million) on Samsung Electronics for misleading advertisements that concealed features limiting the performance of its Galaxy smartphones during high-spec gaming, according to Yonhap and the Korea Times. The fine relates to the Game Optimizing Service (GOS) on Galaxy S21 and S22 models, which the FTC says violated the display advertising law by not informing consumers that maximum performance would be restricted during demanding games. Samsung has declared legal action, calling the decision "difficult to understand" and vowing to challenge it in court, as reported by Business Korea and Kyunghyang Shinmun.
