Apple to pay $95m to settle Siri 'listening' lawsuit | BBC News (youtube.com)
‘I thought Tim Cook said it was a fundamental human right to have your privacy protected? Now we learn, the allegation is, that they've been listening in for 10 years. ’
‘All these companies that have made a business model, have made billions of dollars, by harvesting our data and monetizing it.’
‘Apple has consistently differentiated itself on the basis of privacy,’ in terms of the ‘If you’re not the consumer you're the product' thing. With Apple, they told you that you were not the product, you bought your expensive Apple product to protect your data. Lol. We always knew Apple consumers were obviously stupid and willfully ignorant, though, so probably this won't even change their minds. They'll continue to spy on themselves and all their friends and family for Apple and whoever has a backdoor into Apple.
In the lawsuit, a woman's daughter (a minor btw) talked about some products and suddenly saw a bunch of those products in Safari.
From this lawsuit, ‘affected users’ will each get $20.
