A stunning report reveals the extent to which Apple was eavesdropping on its iPhone and iPad users...
to delete their accounts. Now Apple appears has done the same for its 1.4 billion iPhone and iPad users worldwide. The Guardian
revealed Apple was employing contractors to listen to and “grade” Siri recordings and they “regularly” heard confidential information from iPhone and iPad users, including medical information, drug deals and recordings of couples having sex.
The Examiner understands that over 300 employees at the contractor, Globetech, were let go following the Guardian’s report, which puts the 1,000 recordings per shift into context. Neither Apple nor Globetech have commented on the numbers. “Mostly it was users with Canadian, Australian or UK accents [who were heard] and there was a smaller team working on users with European languages,” says the employee. Staff at the contractor, Globetech, were then required to transcribe and grade the records to see how Siri was triggered and whether the query was dealt with successfully.
