    Just to give you full context...Apple's current net worth is $4T...which means that this $100m fine is equivalent to 1/50,000 of their overall net value.
    So if you had a *$100k salary,* imagine being fined *two dollars.* That's what this means.
    Yeah I'd say they've got away with it.

      If Apple's net worth was $4 billion and they were only fined $100 million, this would be a slight slap on the wrist. At this rate, there is a system that is signaling that corporations Fitness companies like Apple can 'buy' the right to violate the law without stirring up anything? It's worth pondering the meaning of fairness and responsibility in business.

      The idea that it only affects people in the US must be wrong. I was in Spain in 2018, and the air con broke in the apartment, so we were having conversations about it. Next thing my brother is getting ads for air con related businesses on his phone. It's not like we googled it cuz it wasn't our responsibility to get it fixed, we were just talking about it. We live in the UK where air con just isn't a thing. We thought at the time it was a very unlikely coincidence that we'd suddenly get those ads right when we were having air con trouble at the only time that year it would have been possible. And certainly the only time we'd talk about air con.

Alexa app, any Meta apps (Facebook Live, Messenger calls, Whats App…) , or any Google apps (including RUclips, Waze…), or anything related to X (like Spaces) could as easily end up doing the same. I'm wondering how the ads were delivered… how does one know it was Apple & Siri? Settling out of court doesn't mean Apple is guilty…it means Apple doesn't want to go to court and have to divulge information about their phone security.

The guy asks if I can pull up a recipe for a fondue, I did and it included nutmeg (“Muskatnuss” in German) as an ingredient. This for some reason reminded the clerk of an old Louis de Funes comedy where the phrase “Muskatnuss, Herr Müller!” is said to comedic effect. He said that phrase to me and told me to look it up on RUclips (which I had no intention of doing). Two days later, my RUclips feed has the “Muskatnuss, Herr Müller” clip at the top of my suggested feed.

They often settle after weighing on the cost of litigation vs the cost of settle, the decision is made based on which one is cheaper. Plus class action lawsuits always benefits the lawyer significantly more than the customers they supposedly represent, that’s why lawyers love filing those lawsuits against giant companies, 30% of 95M is a good payday for those guys.

      They’re worse about it too lol like your Gmail, RUclips, Facebook Instagram all linked together to send you targeted ads at anything you search. If you’ve got a Google home in your house I’d assume they’re listening too. But I thought Apple had the security on lock and it was my Google home doing the listening. Now I’m finding out it’s my iphone listening too?

    My Motorola is always in a closed cover so it can't listen to me. Once I had it open while my wife was buying shoes.... guess what ads started showing up while we were still at the store....?
    Any device that has a mic is _always_ listening, Hey Google, hey Alexa, your door camera, your car.... get used to it.
