I think this is the trend for modern business. Every transaction to be recorded. It covers their butts. Notably, when you’re dealing with someone who doesn’t want the conversation recorded, it’s usually more because they’re dishonest than holding onto privacy concerns.
I worked as a broker 25 years ago and every conversation was taped even then. To protect the firm as much as anything, so that clients could not allege they were promised things that they were not.
Bwahahaha.
Government agencies have been BUSTED using non-government accounts on free email sites to circumvent such data requests (think EPA, IRS, and other scandals).
What a crock of BULLSTALIN.
