Apple has agreed to payout $95 million as part of a class action lawsuit over Siri eavesdropping!

I’m Tomi Lahren, more next.

Our phones are always listening and while many of us have accepted that reality and traded our privacy for convenience, Apple will have to pay a price for their part in it.

Apple has agreed to dole out a whopping $95 million to settle a class action lawsuit over their virtual assistant function, Siri.

This payout will resolve an ongoing lawsuit out of California that accused the company of deploying Siri to eavesdrop on people using iPhone and other devices.

According to the lawsuit, even when users did NOT summon Siri, the virtual assistant STILL recorded conversations and then shared them with advertisers as a means to target products to those consumers.

Apple isn’t admitting to it or acknowledging wrongdoing in the settlement.

If it’s approved, tens of millions of customers who owned iPhones or certain other Apple devices between September 17th, 2014 through the end of last year could be eligible to file claims and get a piece of that pie.

Big brother, and possibly Sister Siri, are always listening!
