It sometimes feels like every technological advancement is scarier than the last. Some, like those robots that can do backflips, are objectively terrifying. Others, like Amazon’s Alexa, present more nuanced threats: they’re kind of awesome, but if they can be voice-activated with just a few words, how do they know when to stop and start listening? Most virtual assistant apps, including Google Assistant and Apple’s Siri, work in the same way, raising potential privacy issues.
On Tuesday, Apple responded to a letter from House Energy and Commerce Committee sent to the company last month that explicitly asked Apple to respond to reports that Siri listens to conversations through the phone microphone. In a letter obtained by CNET and expounded on by Engadget, Apple said they “believe privacy is a fundamental human right and purposely design products and services to minimize our collection of customer data.”

Complex: “shiiiit ight if you say so”
Are they supposed to say yeah? We all know we're being listened to.
Sure apple aren't. But Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat are
I trust Apple more than Google and Facebook.
Natasha is like an ex you wanna get back with just cause of the romance fuck around fall in Love again.
What bout text
Natasha bae! 🤩
Hold my dick I purposely did talked bout stuff it comes within the hour
Let's be honest
So if apple isn’t listening then who is ???
of course they'd say they don't.
Bullshit
Sure,Jan
that’s what someone who is listening to your calls would say
Idc if they are, it’s not like I talk about anything important 😂
0:32 the video says they DO listen to conversations but just don’t identify it to an apple id or location, and yet the title says they don’t listen…did I misunderstand something?
Probably using some legal loop hole like “We (Apple) aren’t listening but all the apps that you allow access to your microphone are.” Come on Apple. Y’all arent slick!
Liars
Apple takes pics of us jerking our meat lmao
Why you lying bitch?
They’re 100% listening and most likely recording. Sometimes I’ll go to search something on google and what I’m looking to search pops up before I even finish typing the first word. That has happened multiple times how can that be a coincidence…
Bull fucking shit
oh ok that settles it then
Speech:100
that don’t mean the government don’t.
