Apple has reached an agreement to pay $95 million in cash to resolve a proposed class action lawsuit that accused its voice-activated assistant, Siri, of breaching user privacy. The lawsuit alleged that the company collected and stored data from users without their explicit consent, raising significant concerns about privacy rights and data protection.
The settlement aims to address claims from users who felt their privacy was compromised while using the Siri feature on their devices. As part of the agreement, Apple will not admit any wrongdoing, but the payout is expected to provide compensation to affected users.
This legal resolution highlights the ongoing scrutiny tech companies face regarding user data and privacy practices. As consumers become increasingly aware of their digital footprints, companies like Apple are under pressure to ensure transparency and uphold privacy standards. The outcome of this lawsuit may influence how tech giants manage user data in the future.
