Whether infringement

See intentionally or unintentionally

For Siri features such cases, many netizens on the network believe that the use of the Internet to disseminate obscene information, and the entertainment field caused infringement.

"The key is to see whether the situation is intentional or unintentional." Tri Jianan, a lawyer at Beijing's law firm, said that as a highly sensitive software, it was not possible to rule out Siri misreading as a way to provide "prostitution information". Although it could not block "prostitution information", but it can not be found in violation of our laws, because in the user search process, Siri did not abet, and did not specify a place where there is real pornography services.

As for the listed "escort list" infringement, lawyer Tri Jianan that the mobile phone and software is not ideological, unlike people can be based on their own will to publish certain customs, or damage the reputation of other people's information, so there is no problem of intentional infringement. "But if the software is deliberately designed to do this, that's another story." Lawyer Tri Jianan said.
