The Constitution of Siri Communication Rights in the European Union

In lieu of a dispute between Apple and the EU, a constitution has been framed by the Apple users community in the EU region with the following declaration and rights:

We, the people of Europe, are the ones left without access. We, iPhone users across the European Union, declare:

1. Access is not a privilege.
2. Privacy and competition are allies, not enemies.
3. Regulation should protect users, not park their features.
4. Delay has a cost.
5. Europe deserves the front row.


The current status of the constitution approval:

UPDATE: We submitted an official petition through the EU petition website. We are currently waiting on the approval. We'll keep you updated on the petition status.
