In a significant development regarding privacy issues in the tech industry, Apple has agreed to a whopping $95 million settlement in a class-action lawsuit over its virtual assistant, Siri. The lawsuit alleged that Siri inadvertently recorded users' private conversations without their required consent. Such recordings were then reportedly reviewed by Apple contractors for quality control, raising serious data privacy concerns for millions of users. This issue sparked considerable unease as users reported receiving targeted ads related to conversations they had around Siri-enabled devices. The lawsuit argued that such practices violated user privacy, specifically since users were not aware their interactions could potentially be overheard by human reviewers. Despite settling, Apple has neither admitted any wrongdoing nor affirmed that it sold recorded data to third parties. While Apple denied allegations, it agreed to settle the lawsuit, leaving the question of whether or not Apple actually violated user privacy up for interpretation. This settlement, which awaits approval from a U.S. District Judge, signifies the increasing importance of privacy for consumers, marking a shift towards more accountability and transparency in the tech industry. Eligible users can now claim up to $100 total across five devices, by submitting their claims before the July 2, 2025, deadline.
