But sending sensitive private audio recordings to the lowest bidder is par for the course?

This comment makes it sound like they sold private recordings to whomever was willing to pay for them, but they paid third parties to evaluate Siri recordings.

Don't really agree with that, that would have been highest bidder if anything.

And it wouldn't have been much worse compared to be as careless as they have been.

Selling data is so shabby! Why sell when you can just give it away to letter-soup friends?

reply
Because that's not legal, so they sell it to third party data brokers and it gets resold to someone the TLAs can buy it legally from.

Illegal to share data with entities that are themselves law enforcement, and which they are known to be demanding, not just asking to share out of good will?
