@skilledtothegills would be forbidden for them to train on actual content from calls under EU law, as it would be in breach of the ePrivacy Directive (read alongside something called the European Electronic Communications Code, which gives similar obligations to 'over-the-top' providers as to classic telecoms). Not that US tech firms have a great history of adhering to EU law.

@galoisghost @Zerush an incredibly small number of systems fall into the prohibited cases, and those categories themselves have wide exceptions. so no, i don't think so...

@Kidplayer_666 it does? specifically says withdrawal of consent must be as easy as giving it. just not properly enforced.

@rozlav don’t need a smartphone, but do need access to a telephone number. it’s an important anti spam measure. you never have to use or display it: can operate entirely with signal usernames instead
