likely most iPhone users don't care what happens to Siri or what Apple does with the recordings cuz most have it turned off
So the guy who reported this must feel like an idiot now. He got a whole group of contractors terminated and that contract appears to no longer be available.
I'm glad they're doing something about this, but with all this bragging about privacy as their main focus compared to Android, this is a bit unsettling. I'm not really a fan of Apple only doing things about these issues when they're brought to the public eye.
When did anyone else let your phone's camera be remotely accessed for a month? Game over.
He's entitled to a reward for exposing fraud and protected from retaliation.

No. Absolute statement of fact which can be easily proven.
I agree. I always assumed they were reviewing interactions to help improve the software.Honestly I couldn't care less if contractors can hear snippets of my interactions with Siri if it helps improve the service but whatever
Correct. Jobs never apologized for antennagate just said, “you’re holding it wrong” and gave away cases.
One is as bad as the other. It’s no different than the boy who cried wolf.I'd take that over not criticising them for anything. Accountability is extremely important.
Going against the NDA and committing a crime does not normally get one rewarded. Ask Snowden.He's entitled to a reward for exposing fraud and protected from retaliation.

https://www.apple.com/legal/sla/What was the policy before this? Does anyone know where I can find a copy? Specifically with how HomePod used data

As far as accountability..are you suggesting google and amazon have none?
So, you’re going to base your argument on news clips of things that have happened? Here I was hoping for a technical discussion of the actual underlying architecture of Android vs iOS or the business model of Google vs Apple. You know, facts about how they operate, not sensational headlines.
If you want to play that game:

The most recent example of how utterly pathetic Android is for privacy/security. I suggest reading the article and not just the headline to understand what actually happened and what the technical differences are between Android and iOS that would make this virtually impossible with iOS (I say virtually impossible because there’s always some chance, no matter how remote, that someone might find a way to do this on iOS).
Yes it is. Hyper focusing is just as bad as automatic criticisms. Nothing in-between taking a rational and balanced approach is out the window.No it isn't. Giving them a pass on everything is much worse.
I'm staying letting multi billion dollar companies like Apple, Google, Facebook, Amazon etc behave with absolutely impunity, with the reach and influence that they have, is a very bad idea.
They should be scrutinised as much as possible, if they make a claim and they don't live up to it they should be accountable.
Why did apple use contractors instead of apple employees in the first place? Cause apple cares so much about privacy? Hahahahaha. So show your proof apple puts privacy above profits. You said it is easily proven.
Based on the screenshot below, I’m not sure all your information is 100%. Seems like Apple is trustworthy and maybe even has better and easier controls than android.With Android I get to choose what I install, encryption, VPN, etc.
With Apple I don't get to choose if Apple are going to let people access my camera and microphone
The "technical differences" is Apple is untrustworthy and doesn't let their users protect themselves

Move the goal posts? A bit disingenuous but ok... However where did Siri recordings ever go to third parties? Contractors are not third parties.Where's the option to not send Siri recordings to third parties thanks?
