The .plist doesn’t appear malicious, but I wouldn’t ideally be installing random profiles like this from random places.

How to make your own:

It should look something like this (you'll have to remove a bunch of other unnecessary settings from the file to make it look list this):

    
    
    
    
     PayloadContent
     
      
       PayloadDescription
       Configures restrictions
       PayloadDisplayName
       Restrictions
       PayloadIdentifier
       com.apple.applicationaccess.masked
       PayloadType
       com.apple.applicationaccess
       PayloadUUID
       masked
       PayloadVersion
       1
       allowSiriServerLogging
       
      
     
     PayloadDisplayName
     Prevent Siri from Logging Me
     PayloadIdentifier
     masked
     PayloadRemovalDisallowed
     
     PayloadType
     Configuration
     PayloadUUID
     masked
     PayloadVersion
     1

Pardon me asking but since this setting is on the client, how one is sure that it is even considered/respected on the server?

Without subpoenaing Apple, it seems like blind trust to me.

Wouldn’t one be able to verify this by placing your own MitM at your own home gateway, no?

The requests still have to go to Apple. The only way to verify if they’re logged or not would be to examine the servers themselves and the software running on them.

If you have a working iPhone, Googles-Android based device or Windows computer around you, it is blind trust they don't surveil you, unless you permanently monitor and control their communications.

At Apple: "Ah, another request to not log anything, make sure you log everything."
