    Basically, Siri is regularly triggered unintentionally and sends the audio it hears to Apple, despite the voice activation having supposed to be unique to the user’s voice and specific trigger phrase/word. This has resulted in people being recorded in sensitive situations for minutes at a time without their knowledge or consent.

      Have you got any references to that?

      Another commenter posted an article from over 5 years ago with something close to what you describe, but I don’t think they’d be reacting now to something that happened that long ago.

            My wife and I were just chatting and at some point Siri got triggered on her watch. Not sure how long it was on and listening before we noticed. I don’t know, though, they probably no longer send those recording unless subsequent actions are triggered or something, so I’m not worried about it.
