TBH, the pro-business blatantly illegal hot takes here on HN are expected.
Because some company figured out a 'hack' to make more money, somehow turns from illegal to "legal". And so many users here will defend that.
In this case, it's violating interstate wiretapping laws and state-based 2 party consent laws. But.. they just squint hard and go "Hey we can violate the law and make MORE money".
Uber is exactly that. So is AirBNB. So is Lime/Bird. Just go look at much of the tech companies, and it's "Offline company + way to break law to get money + ONLINE!!!!1!!1!"

Change by definition requires breaking established rules and is how societies grow. Normal part of the process.

change doesn't require breaking established laws, however, and that's what we're talking about

Doesn’t require it but it is ok if that happens.

I'm not convinced, but I don't doubt that there is at least 1 person out of billions who believes that to be so
not if it's recording without your consent
> Seriously, this thread is "I installed recording software and it worked on things I didn't think it would.
a poor attempt to reframe the thread, which is actually about a company monitoring confidential meetings without consent
if affirmative consent is such a non-issue here, why couldn't the company get it?
