On January 7, Glonghui reported that Apple agreed to pay $95 million in cash last week to settle a class action lawsuit regarding Siri's privacy violations. The lawsuit accused Apple of obtaining private communication content through Siri without consent and sharing it with third parties. Apple emphasized in a statement released on Monday that data from Siri-enabled devices has never been used for Advertising Marketing and has never been sold to third-party companies. The statement said: "Siri data has never been used to build marketing profiles, nor has it ever been sold to anyone for any purpose. Apple resolved this case to avoid further litigation, so that we can continue to move forward from concerns about third-party ratings that have been resolved since 2019. We use Siri data to improve Siri, and we have been developing technology to make Siri more privacy-focused."
