Yet Another Privacy Lawsuit Adds To Apple's List: Bloomberg

  • Oakland's U.S. District Judge, Jeffrey White, has ruled alleged privacy violation by Apple Inc AAPL Siri's "accidental activations" against the user's wish, Bloomberg reports.
  • However, White dismissed part of the complaint in February under California's Unfair Competition Law due to the lack of economic harm.
  • He argued plaintiffs could not prove that they purchased Apple products based explicitly on representations that the iPhone maker will protect their privacy.
  • Consumers have brought similar complaints about Amazon.com Inc's AMZN Alexa and Alphabet Inc's GOOG GOOGL Google Assistant.
  • Price Action: AAPL shares traded higher by 0.14% at $152.70 on the last check Thursday.
