People recording their own conversations is fine with me, but people being tricked into sending recordings of their conversations to random untrustworthy corporations is emphatically not okay. Those may also be my conversations, which I may not want to be shared.
In my home state of Massachusetts, all parties in a conversation must consent to recording, which makes this illegal.
