‘Apple ecosystem is a prison yard’: Tim Cook’s company accused of spying on employees’ personal data

A current Apple employee has accused the Cupertino-based tech giant of spying on its employees through their personal devices, such as iPads and iPhones. The lawsuit, filed on Sunday, comes from Amar Bhakta, who has worked in Apple’s digital advertising division since 2020.

Bhakta claims that Apple requires employees to give up their right to privacy as a condition of employment. The lawsuit also alleges that Apple requires employees to agree to a policy where the company can “engage in physical, video, and electronic surveillance of them” even when they are at their home.
