So you record people without consent and pinky swear that your software will “unrecord” after the fact? I don’t know if you can just hand wave that away… ship has probably sailed on anyone enforcing these kinds of laws I guess, good luck

Yeah, that seems like exactly the sort of shenanigans that would get certain kinds of judges extremely unhappy.
It's likely more nuanced than that.

I'm reminded of how I felt it was unfair that the hotword detector for assistants was discussed as "recording", but it's really just parsing a byte stream, never storing it.

Voice ID systems I'm familiar with work on a similar premise.
