Apple Sued by Employee for Alleged Spying on Personal Devices and iCloud Accounts
Dec 3, 2024, 02:59 AM
Apple Inc. faces a lawsuit from a current employee, Amar Bhakta, who alleges the company illegally monitors its workers' personal devices and iCloud accounts. The lawsuit claims that Apple forces employees to install software on their personal devices, granting the company access to intimate personal information such as emails, photo libraries, health data, and smart home information. Bhakta also accuses Apple of restricting discussions about pay and working conditions, suggesting that such policies chill whistleblowing, competition, freedom of employee movement in the job market, and freedom of speech. Apple has responded by denying these allegations, asserting that the claims are unfounded. The employee was also reportedly forced to edit their LinkedIn profile, highlighting the extent of Apple's control over personal information.
