@mysk Do you find it plausible that Apple might retain Siri data in a way that can be deanonymized?

@CullenWritesTech Apple clearly states this:

"Your Siri transcripts and any related request data are associated with a random, device-generated identifier"

However, the data itself might contain clues to identify an individual, such as saying your full name to Siri. Moreover, if your voice is quite unique, the audio files sent to Apple might identify you.

Apple promises that the data will not be stored unless you opt in to Improve Siri and Dictation.

@mysk The random device-generated identifier seems a little like wearing a mask while shouting your name and address.

The real question with this lawsuit is what they actually do with that siri data, where it lives, and how it gets passed around. It seems like we just have to take their word for it that they're careful.
