@daringfireball @gruber If you had read more than a paragraph about what you were writing about, you'd know that the investigation concerns a time period that starts *before 2019* (2014). And as you know, until 2019 there was *no* opt-in. Apple even had to apologize publicly after that was revealed by The Guardian.

Some guy even blogged about it at the time: https://daringfireball.net/2019/08/apple_siri_privacy

Apple Addresses Siri Privacy Protections

Basically, Apple is admitting they fucked up on this grading thing, they’re owning up to it, and are committed to doing everything they should have been doing all along to protect users’ privacy *and* make everything as clear as possible to users.

@nileane @daringfireball @gruber thank you. It seemed way too obvious a rejection for the investigation the way this DF article was written.

@nileane @daringfireball @gruber Something’s rotten in the city of Philadelphia… Have the courage to admit you were wrong on this one, John.
