I heard a person call into a show the other day, voice only, and talk about some poor working conditions at a factory. Made me think about how it would probably be so easy for nefarious bosses to be able to identify that person with all of the data that comes from us looking directly into cameras and speaking clearly in modern workplaces.

Do “anonymous” callers need to start using voice modulation software for these kinds of calls in the modern world?

    Pull that in my state without both parties consenting, that’s a felony. Even if I call a 1-party “it’s ok to record 'em” state, they still have to let me know because my state is 2-party. No sane company is fooling with this.

      Yea, a lot of companies and even govt agencies have policies against recording meetings except for special circumstances. Edit: to clarify they have policies against employees initiating recordings (let alone automatically recording anything by default)

      Once you have it, it’s a record. Now you have to keep it and treat it like one.
