        In this context? No. But what's more interesting is precisely what is recorded.

          We should assume that our chats/calls are being recorded on services like this. But why exactly is this done? Seems like it leaves a lot of liability on their end and then added costs for the storage of all that data.

          Are they required to or are they selling the data?

              The good news is that the mic is a piece of cake (relatively speaking, as someone who has tinkered with electronics before) to disconnect. Will it throw any errors/refuse to boot? Dunno, haven't seen that attempted yet.

                This is standard in most platforms with social features, companies record chats in case someone gets reported for negative behavior. It's also temporarily stored so they're not just listening in and hoarding your chats.

                The terms also lay out that "these recordings are available only if the report is submitted within 24 hours," suggesting that recordings are deleted from local storage after a full day.

                  Oh yeah, you need to specifically turn it on. Before you do that it won’t do anything. And you have to agree to the terms after you read them

                      The first time some coworkers told me the personal things they discussed with other work friends over the internal chat service, I was in shock over the stupidity. Also internal shit talk to other people in the company. Shocked

                        I once shit talked to coworkers about another coworker/supervisor. Except, by accident, I sent it to the coworker/supervisor.

                        Good times.

                              I'm surprised they added voice/video chat. One report of a pedo talking to kids on their switch and no parent is gonna buy any Nintendo products for their kids

                                    When i was younger and only a few years into my career, I and a coworker talked crap about our 2 bosses for a while over Google chat. It's what we were asked to use back them internally, but it wasn't even our work accounts. We only talked because they were being absolutely awful. Well, joke was on us when they got suspicious and searched our computers and found the chats were locally saved... Oops! They gave us another chance shockingly but did chew us out. I'm still at this place, but none of those people exist here anymore and that was super long ago.

                                      Right... As if parents don't give their kids cellphones or completely unsupervised access to the internet...

                                      You're giving Joe and Jane Doe way too much credit here.

                                      I'm sure parents actually supervising the internet usage of their kids are a very small percentage.

                                        The only chat not recorded is the one that happens in person with no electronic devices nearby.
