IBM blocking use of Siri on its private networksMay 23, 2012 - 17:29 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - IBM has begun blocking use of Siri on its private networks in the fear that sensitive information may wind up in the wrong hands, SlashGear reports. IBM CEO Jeanette Horan confirmed that the use of Siri was blocked on its networks. Data is stored on Apple’s servers after being processed, and IBM doesn’t want any information being extracted from said data. Apple doesn’t say how long data is stored for either, or who is able to access it, so maybe IBM is better off being safe. The company can’t stop employees from using Siri over a 3G connection, however, the report says. Edward Wrenbeck, the lead developer for the original Siri app for iPhone, says that privacy was always a hot topic: “Just having it known that you’re at a certain customer’s location might be in violation of a non-disclosure agreement.” However, he doesn’t feel that it’s as big an issue as some would make it out to be: “People are already doing things on these mobile devices. Maybe Siri makes their life a little bit easier, but it’s not exactly opening up a new avenue that wasn’t there before.” Top stories Yerevan will host the 2024 edition of the World Congress On Information Technology (WCIT).
