Apple faces allegations of recording private conversations without consent, despite the company denying misuse of data. The settlement covers a decade of device use, from September 17, 2014, to December 31, 2024, across a range of Apple products. Claimants must affirm under oath experiencing unintended Siri activations, potentially receiving up to $20 per device, with a cap at 5 devices.

Key issues include privacy breaches from accidental activations and concerns over data sharing, countered by Apple's privacy enhancements post-2019. This case sheds light on the tech industry's privacy challenges, the financial impact on Apple, and the broader implications for user privacy in the era of voice assistants.Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Apple has offered to pay $95 million to settle a lawsuit in which the company was accused of eavesdropping on iPhones and other devices. The allegation is that for 10 years, Apple secretly activated the Siri on mobile devices to record people's conversations. As many of you know, Siri is the virtual assistant on Apple devices that should only be activated with the trigger words, Hey Siri. The lawsuit claimed that some of these recorded conversations were then shared with advertisers in an attempt to sell products. to consumers they thought would most likely be interested in those products. We can speak now to our North American technology correspondent, Lily Jamali. Good to see you, Lily. I thought Tim Cook, the CEO, had said that it was a fundamental human right

to have your privacy protected by the tech companies. And yet now we learn, the allegation is, that they've been listening in for 10 years. Hey, what's so about that? this play all right so analytic dreams video on spotify see the video along with the audio because we're going to get into a lot of interesting tip bits when it comes to this whole settlement debacle with apple because if you don't know 95 million is a lot of dollars right but is only the cap because if people do not step by step go throughout the process of claiming these um breaches of

privacy then they would not be able to get their respective what was it like 20 or 30 dollars so guess what today ladies and gentlemen I'm gonna show you how to be a grade a snitch a blue-collared truth teller and it's gonna be very detailed so if you want 20 30 dollars well guess what I'm here for you right so make sure to subscribe or if you're on the podcast platforms make sure to rate this five stars while also sharing this with somebody who also was listening on or listening to on Siri as far as having their privacy just taken away from them, right? Like I feel just ultimately respected or disrespect. I don't feel safe. You know what I mean?

I think I really do need to submit my claim for this $20 to $30 because guess what? I don't know how to sleep in night. It's hard. I go to bed. I wake up in cold sweats and realize that Syria is probably listening to me or as we speak. sad day history but anyways RDC one of the goats well the goat of content creation they made a skid about this because guess what

people knew this was happening we couldn't ever prove it and now I'm about to basically lay out the whole settlement and how they proved it because you would think that's pretty hard to prove right except whenever you have an employee that's disgruntled

they will find ways to get back at you and this is one of the ways exposing their secrets of them taking away your privacy so anyways Let's get into a little jokes right quick as RDC World definitely went into a very hilarious skit as far as your phones listening to you. Make sure to go to Analytic Dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio. Yeah, on that Supreme shirt, I'm telling you it was fired. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he said he paid like 150.

150. Oh, no, no. Well, they go off in Jay's who's something like that. What? Yes. Bro, they must think they're four money, though. All right, I got the scoop. So start putting some Jordan 1s on the screen.

He said he got the scoop. Start putting some Supreme shirts on the screen. I heard them say something about iPad or something. Put that on the screen. All right, what else shop on there? Every piece of expensive technology, fuck it, put it on the screen. Like, bro, spam Facebook, spam Instagram. I'm just showing any...

What are you doing? I just heard y'all talking. What are y'all doing? Okay, I'm just not going to charge you no more than. All right, man, chill, chill, chill, you got me. But look, I'm just trying to help you get shit that you want. So all this time I'm over here growing broke. I'm thinking it's songs from God coming up on my phone and you over, it's you.

You manipulate me. Dang. Man, you're gonna have some discipline. It's your money. You can't blame me. I'm just living how I'm living. Get disciplined. Discipline?

Okay. No, I'm gonna have some discipline. I'm gonna sell your ass. Oh, what? What is he talking about? Oh, man. Chill, look, what you're on, man? Man, what you're gonna do after you sell me?

You need me. Okay. And that's why I should have got an Android. Okay, you just talking, man. Your message is gonna be green. You're not going to get no holes with that. Stop playing. Whatever, man.

At least I won't be broke. All right. So obviously that was one of the skits from RDC Whirl. And adding on to that as far as having the settlement of $95 million, right? $95 million that Siri has to pay out because of them having, well, no, that Apple has to pay out because of the allegations that Siri recorded private, conversations without user consent. So today, ladies and gentlemen, we're going to figure out how to be a grade A Karen. But first, we're going to go through the overview of this case. So the eligibility for the payout is September 17 through 2014, well, no, September 17, 2014 to December 31st, 2024. So if you fall in between that eligibility period, which I'm about to show you how to sign up for, I'm about to show you how to put your claim in in a second. So basically, make sure it falls within that date. right? With that being said, the device is covered is the iPhone, iPad. I mean, goodness, Apple Watch, MacBook, I Mac, Apple TV, HomePod, iPad, Touch. I mean, it's everything. Imagine having a whole pod and then she's listening to you. Like, there's no privacy with that. So anyways, must have to swear under oath to have experienced unintended Siri activation during private conversations. You know how easy it is to prove that? Let's listen to one of the correspondents in them.

talking about one of the examples you use. America or is it people worldwide that might have been affected and how would we know? Yeah, I mean the way that we know is actually quite interesting. Quite interesting. Translation, we finn't get paid. An anecdote that I can share from the lead plaintiff in this case who said that her daughter, who was a minor, have been having discussions, having conversation. A minor.

Let's get back to it. ...cations about some of her favorite brands. So Air Jordans came up. Olive Garden, which is a large restaurant chain here in the United States. And that in short order, her daughter started being served up ads for those very same brands in Safari. Despicable. ...dispicable. All right. So that's basically A1 way to truth tell.

She basically just laid it out how one of the plaintiffs laid out how Siri was listening. to her without you know and what was it basically uh syri was listening to them without their consent so all you have to do is just take a little screenshot on um i forget the web browser that they say i really don't use it was a safari that it's owned by apple if you don't know i use uh microsoft edge i think that's phenomenal especially when it comes to sending different tabs to different devices obviously you could do that on safari if you have apple products but you know if you use multiple different like i have an acer laptop that's not a MacBook right so now i can use Microsoft edge to send tabs to my laptop and vice versa and to my PC all type of stuff all right

all right anyways back to what's saying so the ultimate settlement is up to $20 per device oh per device oh hold up now let me see i got a watch watch right here got a phone right here i know i got some pros in my what's that that's at least like 60 right there uh apple tv device you know what's that we're at 80 and we just we're just gonna just gonna start firing this stuff you know what i mean i'm about to find all the apple products i have and tell them i am emotionally distressed i can't go to sleep at night because they listening to me Siri is listening to me without my consent so anyway it's 20 up to $20 per device and a maximum of five devices per claimant. That's about that's about $100 ain't it?

You know what I'm just doing the math right quick. Anyways, claim process. Obviously I'm about to go through that in a second. The websites for the official settlement have yet to launch, right? The deadline is May 15th, 2025. So of course you have time, but make sure to write down that deadline. May 15, 2025 is the deadline to snitch, to, turn into Aubrey Graham himself and not sue, but basically be a truth teller and get a type,

get some type of compensation because of this $95 million settlement, right? So anyways, the settlement requires court approval, right? The hearing on February 14, 2025. But remember, the submission deadline is May 15, 2025. It was key allegations, recording without consent. Siri activated intentionally even without the hey Siri trigger and as we speak I wish I could show y'all this oh I can't show you all this because it has my family under cover but literally I mean I guess if you say hey Siri like your iPhone's gonna pop up but still you know it's listening to me right now it's basically telling me hey we know where you live and we will find you that's basically what my iPhone telling me right now they want me to be silenced that's why you should definitely write this five

star share to somebody who you think would enjoy this type of detailed truth snitching or truth telling a k a snitcher all right conversations with doctors intimate discussions and drug deals reportedly were cut uh recorded imagine if you had a conversation with your doctor and it was recorded without your consent all jokes aside this is very serious and which is why it's costing apple so much right and as far as how they was caught it was a whistleblower report back in 2019 a third-party contractor reviewed series recordings that led to temporary suspension of human grading by Apple. So with that, Apple's response obviously said, you know, we're sorry. Well, they didn't say what sorry.

They just acknowledged shortcomings, right? That's like the political way of saying, sorry. They permanently deleted pre-October 2019 recordings. Oh, that's going to do it. And improved series privacy features and transparency. But guess what? They did it way too late. as with the financial and market impact Apple's profits 95 million to well is equivalent to nine hours of Apple's net net income so it's not a lot for them but of course they wanted to settle because if they went through the if they went through the whole process of the justice system it would have ended up being more if they was found guilty right it would have been like in the billions instead of 95 million so obviously they took a business decision was like you know what let's just settle which is why a lot

of famous celebrities don't like the whole me too movement because if somebody is incorrect or is falsely claiming them all that monetary value as far as resources have to go towards that case and if they end up winning guess what they can't like countersue them because what do they have right so that's just like a devil's advocate um example for you know why celebrities don't like being falsely accused but you know sometimes um more times or not they aren't falsely accused which is why these things happen in the first place so anyways um tech industry trends uh okay yeah so time time to get to the best part of this segment we're about to gain the truth tell central truth tell central is right here so ladies and gentlemen what i have up here right now analytic dreams video on spotify to see the

video along with the audio this is a step by step example on how to truth tell now what if i can zoom in can zoom in let me zoom in right quick uh zoom in what is a control t all right there you go all right y'all can see that right uh let's see them i'm not okay i'm not okay cool all right so basically oh i missed it up um all right there go so i'm gonna read the steps out obviously i'm showing you the most important steps right here to submit your claim remember up to five devices This is five times 20. Hey, get you a bingey off of this truth telling you know what I'm saying.

Anyways, um, step one, you have to identify the settlement, right? You have to realize that the eligibility period, things of that nature. The lawsuit covers users from September 17th, 2014 to December 31st, 2024, right? And then you have to visit the settlement website. So all you have to do for the Siri privacy settlement go to www. Ciri privacy settlement.com as you can see in the top right is step two right here don't forget step by step I laid it out for y'all so I can't say I never helped you get to the fetichini right all right the other website www.smartphone performances or no performance settlement.com

and of course the family sharing one is www.peter's family sharing plan.com now this is where it gets into the nitty gritty detail. This is where the snitching goes through the roof. Because right when you get to either one of these sites, I would probably use the Siri privacy one, right? Provide your name, address, and possible social security number for tax purposes. And then of course, the device or issue information, depending on the settlement, you might need to provide device serial numbers, proof of purchase, or a sworn declaration of experiencing the issue. What I think as far as going off the last video I just showed you showcasing how there's an ad and then you could talk about how you spoke about the ad consistently up until that point, right?

As far as that day, the day before, things like that. And then just send them like a screenshot of Safari recommending whatever ad they recommend to you and then make your story around that, right? Then you choose your payment method on how you want to be compensated for your snitching efforts, right? And select how you want to receive your payment. uh proof of eligibility for some settlements you'll need to upload or mail proof like receipts or records of your device or records of your device experiencing the issue like i said screenshots a screenshot of safari giving you certain ads and i would just base my story around that and then guess what now that's your proof and they've already settled right so it's not like the court's going to be like

nah you line they're going to be like oh we've been waiting for somebody to truth tell like this is a this is a cap of 95 million so that means all that 95 million as far as as as a hundred there's a bunch of different people how let's do 95 million divided by 100 see how many people can get compensated so 95 million and this is like the max 100 right so most people aren't even going to have five devices but we're going to do the max so 95 million right divided by 100 so not 150 000 people can get the maximum compensation of a hundred dollars so obviously you have a great chance it's not a lot of people in the world but still if you follow this advice right you'll probably be one step ahead of those people and it's already a significant pool for the hundred dollars all right so after you go

through the you know payment method things of that uh things that in nature then you have to submit right make sure that you have to submit before the deadline of may 15 2025 if you don't submit before that deadline I don't know what to tell you and after that of course you just got to wait and let the courts be ever in your favor so once again you can take a screenshot of this or type this in as I'm you know stalling for y'all to take notes of this or whatever and then what else yeah that's basically it so with that being said you know that's why you should definitely write this five stars or subscribe if you're on YouTube or click my link tree in my bio to follow me on my social medias or you know what i'm saying
