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.
