Apple has agreed to pay $95 million to settle a lawsuit alleging that
its voice assistant Siri routinely recorded private conversations that
were then shared with third parties and used for targeted ads.

Mature adults understand that is an unsupported claim made by the
plaintiffs. And considering the plaintiffs settled willingly, one
naturally wonders if there is any actual evidence supporting this claim.

Of course there's no evidence. It's never Apple's fault.
It's the lawyers' fault. Apple hires the worst lawyers they can find.
That's why Apple constantly loses all these lawsuits, Jolly Roger.
If only Apple had enough money in the bank to hire better lawyers. Sigh.

Big corporations get sued?

I'm shocked I tell you! Shocked!

Facts don't care about your feelings, little Arlen. There's no evidence
that Apple sold Siri data to anyone. The plaintiffs settled rather than
taking it to trial for a reason.
