US tech giant Apple is facing legal action after being accused of spying on its employees.
The lawsuit alleges that Apple monitored employees using company-controlled devices, including iPhones.
Amar Bhakta, who works in Apple's digital advertising division, claims that employees were required to link their personal iCloud accounts to company systems, which allowed Apple to track sensitive details such as their location while off-duty.
Bhakta also accuses the tech giant of installing software on employees' devices that enabled searches while on company property.
The lawsuit alleges that Apple's policies violate California law, as they allegedly force employees to accept terms that allow for physical, video and electronic surveillance.
According to Bhakta, Apple's work environment feels like a "prison yard," where employees are constantly under surveillance.
In addition, the company is also accused of preventing employees from discussing their salaries, work experiences or political views.
Apple, however, has denied these allegations. A company spokesperson described the allegations as baseless.
This case raises deeper concerns about workplace privacy and how companies balance security with employee rights.
