- This is illegal in a lot of states - It only records your audio unless you are both consenting members… so no, not illegal at all. - Neon’s marketing claims to only record your side of the call unless it’s with another Neon user. 
- deleted by creator - It is illegal to take pictures of people in public spaces in 0 states. 
- You’re conflating way too many things here. 1/2-party consent is wiretapping, not photo or video. Takedown notices are for DMCA/copyright, not general “it’s illegal”. 
- Wiretapping laws don’t cover who you can take photos of. 
 
 
- Interesting. - I wonder if we can set it up so 2 AIs talk to each other and we collect the money. 
- Maybe because more people have mobile phone than toilets. You can sell your voice while taking dump on the street. 
- At least people are getting paid somewhat for their data, instead of just being “compenstated” with access to a service of dubious quality - ONE participant of the phone call is getting paid. It’s unclear if the other one is even being informed. Anyway apparently the app shut down today because of a huge data leak, but I haven’t looked into the details. 
 
- I mean, they wanted to share the data with other companies, so it kind of works as suggested, but I think they didn’t like the part of not getting paid to share it with the whole world. https://techcrunch.com/2025/09/25/viral-call-recording-app-neon-goes-dark-after-exposing-users-phone-numbers-call-recordings-and-transcripts/ 
- So at least they’re being honest about it and give kickbacks? 
- Don’t LLM have enough language samples already? Not like a (one-sided) phone call helps them less making things up.
