@daringfireball From the whistleblower's original article: https://techworkerhandbook.org/stories/thomas-le-bonniec/

> I heard people talking about their cancer, [...] who had no intention to activate Siri whatsoever.

I think you agree that by opting in, you don't give Apple a blanket right to always record you all the time. If Siri has a large rate of false positive activation, especially after removing the "Hey" from "Hey Siri", and this results in a large number of non-intentional recordings, don't you think it at least warrant an investigation? I don't understand why you would be so against that.
