Nov 4, 2026, 4:13 PMApple’s Siri Recap feature lets users secretly document every conversation they have, EFF”s Mario Trujillo told @BloombergLaw. “If we’re conscious that our words or actions are being recorded, it really could change how we interact with each other in ways that I’m not sure we want.” https://news.bloomberglaw.com/litigation/apple-watchs-new-siri-recap-feature-challenges-privacy-norms
@eff @BloombergLaw In how many jurisdictions is single-party recording actually illegal?
He is SO CLOSE to getting why this is a terrible idea.
@eff Sounds to me like it might be illegal in many places, the same as a hidden tape recorder would be. Currently, in the US, 37 states are "one-party consent", meaning you can do this without notice. Laws in 13 other states vary, and in some of them, that can a be jailable offence. If more than one state is involved, the more restrictive one is binding on all parties.
This is just a really, really stupid idea, Apple.
