Apple Illegally Surveilled and Censored Workers, Employee Lawsuit Says


The lawsuit filed Monday by a current Apple employee comes after federal labor investigators accused the company of imposing illegal policies on its workforce.

The case, first reported by Semafor, was filed Monday in California’s Santa Clara County superior court by Amar Bhakta, who works for Apple as a digital ad tech operations manager. Bhakta further alleges that the company’s policies restricting what information employees can share, including details about their compensation, violate California labor law. While the suit is sparse on details regarding how Bhakta was hurt by the policies, it says that he was denied the opportunity to speak in public settings about his area of expertise, digital advertising, and forced to remove information about the working conditions at Apple from LinkedIn.
