Super neat concept, sort of like a stripped down chatroulette.

However, in today's age I have to say that these sorts of little fun social experiment projects are just a lot harder to engage with without the back of your head going: "I wonder if this has some data collection, or voiceprint collection mechanism behind it".

I'm not saying it does. In fact my natural assumption would be that it doesn't. But I can't be sure until I check, and look into the developer and ensure for myself that it is in fact a hobby project by someone legitimately just fooling around.

The prevalence of data harvesting on the internet has basically poisoned the well with regards to these little fun experiments.

Actually.. if you were around in the 80s, then you know that this isn't new, and not really a great concept.

Well, there's been other formats over the years. https://www.swedentips.se/the-swedish-number/

That was the point of my comment actually... the Sweden Tips hotline is interesting though. Imagine all the random weird calls the volunteers will get (and need subsequent counseling for).

Even if the service itself does not, there is nothing stopping the person on the other end from recording it.
