> You can start with your iPhone - last year Apple has agreed to pay $95 million to settle a lawsuit alleging that its voice assistant Siri recorded private conversations. They shared the data with third parties and used them for targeted ads. “Unintentionally”, of course! Yes, that Apple, that cares about your privacy so much

the clickbait title makes sense after reading this paragraph

[gruez]

Not really, because the paragraph you quoted was highly misleading. Even the plaintiffs admit that the recordings were caused by accidental activation, not some sort of nefarious conspiracy by Apple. Moreover there's no evidence that Apple "used them for targeted ads", only that they handed over to third party contractors for improving siri.

And Siri promptly got disabled on my wife's iPad because she kept triggering it inadvertently. Something about her accent kept tripping it. (And, in reverse, Alexa will often not trigger when my wife tries. She comes from a tonal language and it creeps into her English extensively.)
