According to Yonhap, South Korea’s top court ordered Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL.O) Google to reveal if it shared local user data with other parties.

Four plaintiffs sued Google and its South Korean branch in 2014 to force the corporation to divulge local customers’ private data. The Supreme Court’s verdict followed.

The organization said the tech corporation provided customer data through PRISM, a U.S. National Security Agency spying program.

“We will review the Supreme Court’s full written decision carefully,” a Google spokeswoman stated.

The Korea Fair Trade Commission (KFTC) said that on the same day, the Supreme Court upheld a prior verdict requiring Qualcomm (QCOM.O) to pay a fine of roughly 1 trillion won ($761.68 million) for abusing its dominant market position.

Qualcomm did not immediately react.

Both Supreme Court rulings reflect South Korea’s harsh attitude toward foreign tech company regulation.

South Korea’s anti-trust commission punished Google 42.1 billion won ($31.88 million) for limiting mobile game releases on a competitor’s platform on Wednesday.

The KFTC said the decision against the U.S. tech giant was part of government efforts to promote fair markets.
