Apple's $95 million Siri settlement: What consumers could get and key details

India Today  

Apple has agreed to pay $95 million to settle a lawsuit. Apple was accused of allowing its virtual assistant Siri to eavesdrop on users without their consent, triggered by an investigation by The Guardian in 2019. The lawsuit alleged Siri’s microphone recorded conversations without the users’ knowledge and potentially shared these with advertisers. The lawsuit alleged Apple violated federal wiretapping laws and privacy protections, though Apple denied wrongdoing. The $95 million settlement is a fraction of Apple’s total profits since 2014, which exceed $700 billion.
