sulphate oxidation by fluorine?

Does fluorine react with sulphate anion? Does it react with sulphuric acid (probably to make fluorosulphuric acid) but does the oxidation go further?

Yes, fluorine reacts with sulfuric acid. I do not have the literature available at this moment, but if I remember correctly, it forms SO2(OF)2
