“ But the claimants say the tech firm recorded people who activated the virtual assistant unintentionally - without using the phrase "Hey, Siri" to wake it.”
Still happens.
“ The lead plaintiff Fumiko Lopez claims she and her daughter were both recorded without their consent.
They allege they were served targeted ads after talking about products including Air Jordans.”
Obviously pissed off they had those instead of Nike.
Honestly, some people just shouldn’t.
