where can i sign up NOT to have siri on EU phones? We dont want that garbage here, and dont try to bend the rules. Apple is using this as a weapon and we should see it as such. Are you really that desperate to share all your life with google and apple that you have to try to change the law? What if we change Siri instead, make it all local an there is no issue. But apple does not like that, right, so you need to kiss their boot?

"What EU users are saying"... and the first entry is a bunch of n-bombs. Yeah internet, stay classy... ffs.

Signed the petition because I think the EU institutions really should go and sit together with not just Apple but also the usual NGOs, but please, get someone to moderate user-generated content.

What's the problem? Just install another app, some alternative to Siri, I bet it will even work better and have the same system API access you can giv… ah, well… maybe that is what the EU regulation is all about?

Apple does have some good counter arguments. Where there is data, there will be bad actors who want that data - and I trust Apple far more to behave than I trust some random shell company being run by some secret service.

By definition, an AI assistant needs read-write access to all your data. We've seen enough reports of badly implemented AI here, we've seen enough scammers exploiting data troughs...

Why should any company acquiesce to a contemptible organization that ruined the web with useless cookie nag screens and is hellbent on banning encryption?

The EU has done severe damage to the security of the web by training users to click accept on nag screens like the EU-required cookie popups (83% click accept).
