Apple has long been a strong proponent of privacy as a fundamental human right, which is reflected in services like Apple Intelligence and Private Relay. However, one Apple employee claims that none of the company's privacy protections extend to its workforce and is now taking the matter to court.
Apple is facing a new lawsuit alleging that the company has been spying on its employees by monitoring their activities on personal devices and iCloud accounts. According to Semafor, the
suit was filed on Sunday in a California state court by Apple employee Amar Bhakta. He claims that Apple routinely engages in "physical, video, and electronic surveillance" of employees working from home and that this invasive monitoring continues even after individuals leave the company.
Bhakta, who has been working on Apple's advertising technologies since 2020 and leads a team of seven professionals, further alleges that Apple has weaponized its privacy policies in ways that violate California law. For instance, he claims that Apple tried to silence him when he spoke publicly about digital advertising and even forced him to edit his LinkedIn profile to remove details about his role at the company.
