Clearly not "in plain English, and repeatedly" if this is news. I mean, when Apple says "What happens on your iPhone stays on your iPhone" [1] in big bold letters, you what do you expect that to mean? I mean, in plain English, that means nothing is sent back to Apple.

Edit: In fact, I went to that link they provided in the billboard, and then followed it to here.

Nothing under the Siri and Dictation section says anything about letting contractors listen to your audio. Please show me where it says on these pages in plain English that third parties would be listening to your siri audio?

>if this is news
Now the goal posts have moved a little. The reason this is in the news is because a third-party contractor did this. This is not Apple's policy and I expect that the contractor has voided their contract with Apple.
Had thay said it before hand, I am pretty sure 99.9% of Apple's user would trust Apple and just click yes.
The problem is they didn't ask, nor did they tell. What privacy entails, in Steve Jobs's own words
Privacy means people know what they’re signing up for, in plain English, and repeatedly. I’m an optimist; I believe people are smart, and some people want to share more data than other people do. Ask them. Ask them every time.
Make them tell you to stop asking them if they get tired of your asking them. Let them know precisely what you’re going to do with their data.
