Lawsuit Accusing Apple of Recording of Confidential Siri Requests Without User Consent Dismissed

So many typical Apple sycophant responses. This is why I’m really beginning to dislike this place. If this had been Amazon, and the case details were exactly the same, you would be crying foul.

What's a typical Apple sycophant response. That Apple won the lawsuit? Deep pockets Apple uses the court system like everyone else. Win some, lose some.

I've been on these forums for a long time. And its mostly always been like this. Apple can apparently do no wrong.

What forum have you been reading??? this forum is filled with "Apple is doomed" posts every day.

Don’t worry, once Marxism-Leninist ideas take root and Communism is installed (almost there), Apple will do what it wants, including enslavement.

I think Apple's worked exactly the opposite. You would get to hear the actual sound, but have no location, no timestamp, nothing so you could not find out who in the world was talking to Siri. The whole point was that this is only done for things that Siri doesn't understand. That would be different in a business that _wants_ questions to be answered by humans.

Well I’ve worked on a lot of Siri, and this is how it is done. You rate how well the voice assistant’s response is to the user query, judging intent based on general location, timestamp, and sometimes get redacted smart home device info, as well as previous queries leading to the one you are rating. It is all transcribed into written text, you never hear the human user query, only the voice assistant’s response is voiced alongside the initiated device action, if applicable.

Many times there is a gibberish query, where it is obvious that the voice assistant was activated accidentally, and/or the user was interrupted by their surroundings and are addressing someone else, like their kids or husband or something.

What I wonder is how they even defined the class for this lawsuit. How did they identify who the end users were who had their privacy breached? If they couldn’t do that, then privacy wasn’t breached?

If this had been Amazon taken to court, or Google, then it would be expected because neither give a rats about privacy. And the fact that it has been thrown out means that Apple are clearly in the right , so why shouldn't people appreciate that justice has been done.

A sycophant is a person who is trying to gain personal advantage by their behaviour, so I'm not sure why you used that term.

I doubt this trial will continue, or the plaintiffs may very well be paying Apple a nice sum of $'s.

I guess that it wasn't. Which is why it isn't going anywhere.

BTW. Great that you could add some experience into this discussion.

Why don't we then file any lawsuit that connects to the internet like Siri does ? I think probably would speak louder than assumptions...
