Apple accused of recording users’ private activity without their consent: Report

Tech behemoth Apple has been dragged into a court in a new lawsuit accusing iPhone records users’ private activity without their consent. According to a Bloomberg report, plaintiff Elliot Libman complained that Apple claimed users are in control of what data they share when they use iPhone apps, but the guarantees are “utterly false” and violate the California Invasion of Privacy Act.

The report states, the lawsuit contends that Apple’s iPhones and other devices have settings that aim to disable all tracking and sharing of app information, but the company still collects, tracks, and monetises user’s data even after consumers have disabled sharing.

This comes after a new research alleged that iPhone’s Analytics collects user data even when it is turned off.
