This just happened to me and I am a little shook. Very weird. I was talking to my friend in NYC and randomly this voice came on the line saying “this call is being recorded”

He heard it as well. We both have iPhones and were just talking over the PSTN. Wtf

    No, being the asshole is expecting other people to be recorded for your benefit - without first telling them so that they can consent. And then blaming Google for it.

      You consented by calling me. Fuck off with this notion that you’re allowed to dictate what I am or am not allowed to do with my own property.

        Lol that’s not how that works at all. How do you know they aren’t in a 2 party consent state? Why would they assume you are going to be recording the calls? I sure don’t assume that when I am calling anyone.

          I don’t give a shit if they’re in a two party consent state, because I’m not and so that state doesn’t have any jurisdiction over me.

          If someone’s in a one party consent state, wouldn’t it not matter where the other person is, because the laws of the state they’re in apply?
