Apple is facing a lawsuit that alleges it has been illegally monitoring employees’ personal devices and iCloud accounts.

The complaint was filed in California by Amar Bhakta, a digital advertising employee at Apple.

Bhakta claims the company requires employees to install monitoring software on personal devices used for work.

This software reportedly allows Apple access to personal information, including emails and photos.

The lawsuit also accuses Apple of enforcing confidentiality policies that prohibit employees from discussing their pay and working conditions.

Work-related details

Bhakta mentions he was prevented from speaking about his job on podcasts and ordered to remove work-related details from his LinkedIn.

According to the lawsuit, Apple’s surveillance practices unlawfully restrict employee whistleblowing and freedom of speech.

In response, Apple stated the allegations lack merit and emphasized training workers on their rights.

The company aims to create the best products and protect the innovations of its teams.

This lawsuit follows another case where two women accused Apple of underpaying female employees in various divisions.

Apple claims to prioritize inclusion and pay equity.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
