I mean, they wanted to share the data with other companies, so it kind of works as suggested, but I think they didn't like the part of not getting paid to share it with the whole world. https://techcrunch.com/2025/09/25/viral-call-recording-app-neon-goes-dark-after-exposing-users-phone-numbers-call-recordings-and-transcripts/
So at least they're being honest about it and give kickbacks?
This is illegal in a lot of states
It only records your audio unless you are both consenting members… so no, not illegal at all.
Neon’s marketing claims to only record your side of the call unless it’s with another Neon user.
