Comment on Dangerous? Signal Blasts Google Effort to Use AI to Scan for Scam Phone Calls

Let’s talk about wiretapping laws and states where two-party consent is required to record a call.
Where I live, I must notify the other party that I am recording. If not, it’s illegal. Also, any audio recorded without consent is not admissible in court.
Complete tangent but what is two-party consent even for? I can imagine it gets in the way of getting a lot of evidence in cases of domestic abuse or organized crime.
Caller: [threatens me for 45 seconds] Me: “Could you call me again and repeat all that, for the recording?” Caller: [hangs]
Means both parties have to agree to be recorded (usually at the onset of a call).
“Be advised, this call is recorded for quality assurance purposes” at which point you could hang up. The 4th Amendment still applies in America, regardless of what local cops and prosecutors believe. You have a right to privacy in two-party conversations.
Oh, that makes more sense!
There’s no recording taking place…
So that data then goes nowhere? I don’t believe that.
I mean that’s fair, but the answer from Google is yes.
not admissible in court
I get what you’re saying there but that sounds very much like the kind of detail that s possible future Trump administration wouldn’t much care about
Does not matter who is president of the US.
That is probably the dumbest thing you said all week. At least, I hope it is because i don’t want to know how much dumber than that you can get.
You said a Trump presidency. Do you honestly believe that no other person is capable of being an authoritarian? Guess you don’t remember Obama.

“Not admissible because it was illegally captured” didn’t give me the warm-and-fuzzies this comment sounds like it should’ve.
