蘋果支付9,500萬美元和解Siri隱私訴訟



蘋果將支付9500萬美元以解決Siri隱私訴訟

蘋果公司同意支付9500萬美元現金,以解決一宗提議的集體訴訟,指控其語音助手Siri侵犯用戶隱私。這項初步和解於週二晚在加州奧克蘭聯邦法院提交,需獲美國地區法官傑弗瑞·懷特的批准。

手機用戶抱怨,蘋果在用戶無意間啟動Siri後,經常錄音他們的私人對話,並將這些對話透露給第三方如廣告商。語音助手通常在用戶使用「熱詞」如「嘿,Siri」時作出反應。

兩名原告表示,他們提到Air Jordan運動鞋和Olive Garden餐廳時,觸發了這些產品的廣告。另一名原告則表示,他在與醫生私下討論某品牌手術治療後,收到了該品牌的廣告。

此次集體訴訟的時間範圍從2014年9月17日至2024年12月31日。這一訴訟始於Siri加入「嘿,Siri」功能,該功能被指導致未經授權的錄音。

估計有數千萬名集體訴訟成員,可能會獲得每部配備Siri的設備(如iPhone和Apple Watch)最多20美元的賠償。蘋果否認有任何不當行為,並同意和解。

位於加州庫比蒂諾的蘋果公司及其律師尚未立即回應週四的評論請求。原告的律師也未立即回應類似請求。他們可能會從和解基金中尋求高達2850萬美元的費用,外加110萬美元的開支。

9500萬美元相當於蘋果大約九小時的利潤,因為該公司在最新的財年中淨收入為9374億美元。

評論

這宗和解案引發了一系列對科技公司隱私政策的反思。隨著語音助手和智能設備的普及,消費者對隱私的擔憂愈發增加。蘋果的這一和解雖然在金額上看似微不足道,但卻是對公司應對隱私問題的一次警示。值得注意的是,這宗案件的結果可能會影響其他科技公司,尤其是面對類似指控的谷歌等大公司。

在未來,科技公司需要更加透明地處理用戶數據,並加強對用戶隱私的保護措施,以免重蹈覆轍。隨著法律和消費者意識的提高,企業在數據處理方面的合規性將成為其競爭力的重要組成部分。

Create a sticker set maintaining 100% of the woman's original facial features from the provided image. Do not alter the face, focusing on ultra-realistic details of the facial structure, eyes, eyebrows, nose, mouth, and expression. The final face must be realistic, not cartoon-like. She has long, voluminous hair.
1. Makeup:Maintain Original Face: We will preserve the structure of your face, eyes, eyebrows, nose, mouth, and expression as closely as possible to the original image to maintain naturalness and uniqueness, while adjusting the tone to be softer:

Eyes: Slightly reduce the sharpness of the Cat Eye eyeliner to a thin line close to the lash line for a softer look, while still maintaining eye definition.
Eyeshadow: Use natural tones like light brown, peach, or beige.
Eyebrows: Original shape, but brushed up to look softer and more natural.
Lips: Glossy, pink-tinted, nude-pink, or coral-toned lipstick/tint to make the lips look full and moisturized. Focus on a bright but not overly intense look.
2. Hairstyle:Natural Voluminous Long Hair: Her hair is long and flowing, but the styling will emphasize natural volume and movement. Soft, natural waves.
3. Outfit:

Attire: A white open-back bodysuit paired with distressed, faded blue denim shorts. There is a message "Kunika" on the shirt.
Shoes: Elegant, simple open-toe flat sandals.
Accessories: Styled freely and fittingly for each scene.
4. Poses & Sticker Elements:Poses: Various poses such as waving, jumping, walking playfully, reading a book, holding up a sign, cheering with both hands, stretching, or making a celebratory gesture, to create a cheerful and friendly atmosphere.Decoration: Include elements like small rainbows, sparkling stars, clear bubbles, hearts, balloons, or light-colored dots to decorate and enhance the fun of each sticker scene.Style: Thin black border around the sticker. Use a modern, rounded 'Itim' style font for the text.Text: Add short emotional phrases written in a cute, beautiful script near the sticker (no speech bubbles/text boxes):

"Hello"
"Love you"
"Submitting work"
"Great"
"Got it"
"Thanks!"
"Wait a sec"
"Ready to care"
"Fight"
"Let's do it"
"So cute"
"OK"
"Sweet dreams:
"Get well soon"
"555"
"You're welcome"
"HBD" 
"OMG" 
"Sorry"
"Got a headache" 
Guidelines: Do not include a text box. Ensure balanced composition with sufficient white space—not cluttered. Match the pose to the text.
Emphasis: Reiterate 'maintain 100% of the original face features from the provided image,' 'ultra-realistic facial detail,' and 'professional studio lighting on face (realistic face, not cartoon face).

Use Cantonese in the stickers. Prompt:

Use my image upload (keep original face) I wearing a black beanie, a black jacket, black pants, and black boots, holding a phone in his hand. He is sitting on a low wall or bench outdoors at night, with blurry city lights in the background creating a bokeh effect. Add lotso and hamm
