Apple Apologizes Over Siri Privacy Concerns, Will Resume Grading Program in Fall With Several Changes

[Rob_2811]

No idea what a 2013 article is supposed to prove regarding a 2019 exploit that was already patched.

The article doesn’t mention “prism” once.

are you shire you read the same article?

No I'm not talking about a patched security exploit. I'm talking about accusations of Apple being involved in state run surveillance programs.

The Prism leaks accused Apple, Google, Facebook, Microsoft and several others of actively assisting the NSA collection of their users data. Apple and Google of course denied it but they would wouldn't they.

iOS might be inherently more secure than Android but to think that it's some utopia of privacy and security is naive in the extreme as this Siri situation proves.

What does the Siri situation prove? That Apple wants to improve Siri and to that end they hired contractors to do the same job that employees would have done in evaluating Siri recordings, of which the way Apple works with your data is in the tos!

Why does Siri still suck so bad though?

Simple: Apple has absolutely no way of monetizing Siri. So they don't care. For a minute or two, it was a nice marketing gimmick, and then the competition slaughtered Siri with vastly superior assistants (that actually could be monetized).

how can they do that if people arent letting them use recordings

Well. How could Dragon dictate and other products become so much better at speech-to-text than Siri in a time when we did not even have the Internet?

How could Infocom text adventures back in the 1980s on 8-Bit computers with only a few kilobytes of RAM already have better natural language "understanding" than Siri or --any-- other of TODAY's assistants?

Did Dave Lebling, Brian Moriarty and the other Infocom software developers use black magic to get their games to understand complex sentences?

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

Car to post what you can or cannot install on Android P or O currently and state your phone?!

I’m will to bet all those processes which are crazily eating up cpu and ram that is listed you have no idea what each does let alone your ability to fully disable them by the system tools alone vs some hack or 3rd party application ~ which also may not grant you ability to disable them.

Does android still force you to install what is preferred by developer or can you disable camera access or gps access where downloading an app and still have it running.
