Just what I always wanted: letting Google listen in on my phone calls.

Is “Google” your Android phone? If so, “Google” has always been “listening” to your calls. This is nothing new, just your phone getting more helpful. Big “old man yells at cloud” energy here.

Aren’t there laws in place about consent and recording phone calls specifically?

Newsflash: Big Data is above the law. Didn’t you know?
They’ll spin it as a “service” to the user and carve out an exemption that way. And 10 or 15 years down the line, you’ll hear your own words spat back at you by a fucking chatbot, but it’ll be too late by then.

Depends on the location. Some places you can’t record without other’s consent and some you can.

I live in Australian state that has two party consent for recording of phone calls, I’d love to see the legal decision that would come from this sort of recording but not keeping audio type of call record. It’d be interesting, I think.

Wasn’t call recording a standard feature in Android years ago before being removed? Then Google shutdown all third-parrty recorders a couple of years ago.

Yeah. Back in the day I used to use BoldBeast call recorder. Now I use Basic Call Recorder (BCR) on my Android phone and it auto-records every call perfectly.

Bruhhh, fuck off. At this point the only thing an android phone would be good for is installing another, more privacy oriented, ROM
