Siri eavesdropped on users’ medical appointments and other private moments. With the pitiful settlement that was reached, Apple will now dole out enough hush money for each claimant to buy a few coffees.
Mind boggling. I’ve been in the inside of big tech. Idk if my company was better, or the systems were better exposed to me than others within the company, or something else entirely. But this would’ve gotten me fired, and a review of the processes in place to ensure that information like that isn’t recorded, and is discarded otherwise.
I’m not saying they’re great. I’m saying they’re great at convincing themselves that they do respect privacy (in no small part out of fear of regulation IMO). Something like accidentally recording and exposing intimate moments like this is just too on the nose for the people who want to believe they’re the good guys.
