📱 Hey Siri, How Do I Limit AI Data Access? | EFFector 38.17
The EFF's latest EFFector newsletter addresses privacy concerns around Apple's AI-expanded Siri features in iOS 27, alongside coverage of drone recording rights, video doorbell privacy, and practical guidance on limiting what data the updated assistant can access.
Why this matters: When Apple adds AI to Siri, your voice assistant stops being just a shortcut and starts being a data pipeline. The real issue is what it can reach: your messages, calls, habits, location history, and more. Most people accept new features without changing any settings. EFF is trying to close that gap with concrete steps you can actually take. That matters because the default settings are rarely the most private ones, and the companies rolling out these features have every reason to collect more, not less.
