Data protection as a human right – Apple regularly emphasizes this. The creator also uses the theme for marketing campaigns and thus stands out from its competitors who make money through advertising. However, two incidents raise questions about Apple’s privacy promise: iOS 18 sends image data to Apple’s servers without asking to mark landmarks in photos, causing a stir. Many users complain about the secret implementation and lack of opt-in. Plus, the fact that Apple is settling an uncomfortable Siri data protection lawsuit out of court is raising eyebrows.

In episode 98, Malte Kirchner and Leo Becker examine two current events in detail. We discuss what security mechanisms Apple uses when transferring photo data and why implementing the function is still a debacle. Topics also include what is possibly Apple’s biggest data security scandal to date: Several years ago, subcontractors evaluated unwanted Siri audio recordings themselves. Obviously the company wants to end this matter soon.
We’ll also take a look at how Apple is fighting for encryption and where the company is using data protection against competitors. We’re also concerned about Apple’s growing advertising business.
