Apple suspends Siri response grading in response to privacy concerns
So far, most of the comments here are a good example of both why this happened and why it will happen again.<p>When people complained that putting microphones in your home 24&#x2F;7 was creepy, the response was &quot;that&#x27;s nonsense, Siri is not sending anything unless you specifically ask for it&quot;. When it turned out that it <i>does</i> send things you didn&#x27;t intend, the response was &quot;well, it&#x27;s not like anyone is listening anyway&quot;. Now that we know someone <i>is</i> listening, the response is &quot;it&#x27;s no big deal, because they don&#x27;t care and ultimately is good for you&quot;.<p>Just because most people don&#x27;t understand the implications of what they agree to, it doesn&#x27;t mean they don&#x27;t care. And the levity with which the tech community disregards other people&#x27;s privacy concerns seems to me one of the reasons why everything everywhere is spying on us nowadays.<p>We really need mandatory ethics courses in CS.
