This week Apple agreed to pay out $95 million (approximately £77 million / AU$153 million) due to privacy violations involving Siri, the iPhone manufacturer's voice-activated assistant.
According to the lawsuit, launched in 2019, the company recorded tens of millions of conversations while users believed that Siri was deactivated, including sensitive medical information. The case also claims that Apple then shared this information with third parties, as users noticed targeted advertisements for products and services specific to those conversations pop up on their devices.
