Credited from: INDIATIMES

  • Apple has agreed to pay $95 million to settle a class-action lawsuit regarding privacy breaches involving its Siri voice assistant.
  • The lawsuit, initiated in 2019, claimed that Apple recorded user conversations without consent when users inadvertently activated ‘Hey Siri’.
  • Allegations also include that Apple sold these recordings to third-party advertisers, impacting its reputation for user privacy.
  • The proposed settlement needs approval from US District Judge Jeffrey White and covers eligible class members potentially receiving up to $20 per Siri device owned.
  • Despite the settlement, Apple denies wrongdoing, having suspended its quality control program that involved reviewing Siri recordings since the lawsuit began.
