Sometimes in a private conversation I will say things I would not want the public to hear me say. In places where there is one party consent it requires much more trust to have these types of private conversations, because any conversation could be recorded and placed on twitter.
For example, I think it's awful that in some places it's legal to privately tell you friend about a mental health struggle you are having, and for that friend to, without your knowledge, share a recording of that conversation with other people. In my mind two party consent is a basic data-privacy law. You cannot create a record of something you expected to be private. You can have an expectation of a private conversation to be private.
- judge2020 2y agoWhat a bad take. Private doesn’t mean “off the record”. Making it so that you can’t record unless you ask the other party for consent to record makes it harder to hold people accountable for their actions, gather proof of labor law violations, and confess to other types of crimes. If you’re saying something that “could be placed on twitter”, maybe reflect on the harm your statement is causing that the rest of society agrees about. Even if this was a law, the only defense is suing anyone who records your conversation and brings it to the limelight - the JKR approach.
- planede 2y agoTaking a recording and sharing the recording are two different things. I think the intention universally is to deter from sharing the recording. Punishing taking the recording is also a way to do that, but I don't see much harm in having private recordings for personal use.
