Neon, the No. 2 social app on the Apple App Store, pays users to record their phone calls and sells data to AI firms

Already pulled off the store because people could hack it and listen to other people's phone calls:

@shyguyblue@lemmy.world makes an important argument though: what about the other part in every phone call? Did they consent, too?

I'm sure this is no way a legal kerfuffle just waiting to happen.

Some states have single party consent laws, what happens when they call someone who's in a two party consent law state? Are they going to add in a "this call is being monitored to help train our slop generator" message?

Fuck it, popcorn

Edit: I just realized a great way to sour the data: Only use the app when calling call centers. Enjoy listening to the "updated menu options" that haven't changed in years, the shitty hold music, and the insufferable "your call is important to us, but not important enough to upgrade our staff" bullshit. I don't miss voice calls...
