Apple Facing (Alleged) Employee Spying Lawsuit

Apple Inc. is reportedly facing a lawsuit from employee Amar Bhakta, who alleges the company unlawfully monitors employees’ personal devices and iCloud accounts.

Filed in California state court, the lawsuit claims Apple mandates employees to install software on personal devices used for work, granting the company access to personal data such as emails, photos, and health information. Also, it alleges that Apple’s policies permit surveillance of employees even when off duty and within their homes.
