Siri records fights, doctor’s appointments, and sex (and contractors hear it)

    In a new report, Apple takes its turn in the crosshairs over how it reviews user recordings.

    One of the contract workers told The Guardian that Siri did sometimes record audio after mistaken activations. The wake word is the phrase “hey Siri,” but the anonymous source said that it could be activated by similar-sounding words or with the noise of a zipper. They also said that when an Apple Watch is raised and speech is detected, Siri will automatically activate.

    “There have been countless instances of recordings featuring private discussions between doctors and patients, business deals, seemingly criminal dealings, sexual encounters and so on,” the source said. “These recordings are accompanied by user data showing location, contact details, and app data.”

    I feel bad for the contractor reviewing @Jontro recordings.

    That people still buy Apple products after Jobs died somewhat amuses me.

    Nope. People need to read their terms of service.

    Big Brother is always listening. My lap top has a voice search option that you suppose to click the mic to use. I've noticed if I'm watching something on tv like Texas Bucket List. They can have a segment on a random place. I can type 3 letters looking it up and it will be a top option.
