Telephone systems are a public place?

If I'm walking down the sidewalk talking on my phone, overhearing my voice is not a violation of privacy.

But we're talking about recording your voice. Which I think is a violation of my privacy vs just listening to me passively - now that may not be enshrined in any law but then the law doesn't IMO [exclusively?] dictate what is moral.

Think point is. Unless that voice is carried over telecommunications network to, say central processing center.
