Apple again accused of recording everything through Siri

Last year Apple Inc. was accused of recording everything that iPhone users were talking through Siri, the company was quick enough to realise the potential damage and acted promptly. Not only did Apple apologise, but also assured users for not exercising such practices that are a serious threat to the personal lives of billions of iPhone and iPad users in future.

However, it appears that all that was just a PR exercise to contain the damages as Apple allegedly continued to record everything to train Siri.

After the assurance by Apple billions of iPhone and iPad users have had a sigh of relief believing on Apple for ethics and morals. Recently, one of those contractual workers at Apple has levelled serious accusations against Apple by disclosing that despite all the hue and cry Apple continued to record everything that Siri could possibly pick up.

Undoubtedly, the new accusation made by Le Bonniec against Apple is quite concerning. He, in fact, expressed his dissatisfaction towards the action taken against Apple. He blamed that Apple is being allowed to wiretapping the entire population in a bid to make its AI-driven systems more intelligent and closer to reality. But in a process to do so Apple is completely ignoring the personal space of people where no company must be allowed to enter.

Note that Apple’s supposed wiretapping isn’t an isolated case. Microsoft, Google, Amazon and Facebook have admitted to comparative practices however none exchange on security as a selling point like Apple.

After the fiasco last year, Apple allowed users to delete recordings done by Siri in iOS 13.2. But, at the same time, Apple made it clear that the company has planned to resume Siri monitoring after its release.

All said and done, after the new accusation levelled by Le Bopnniec it’s clear that authorities need to relook at practices employed by Apple. Apple has not yet responded to the fresh charges made.
