According to the company, they determine which calls are exempt based on the phone number involved. That's entirely automatable and can avoid recording the call at all. No later review is necessary (and there'd be nothing to review.)
The company also says that the attorneys have to proactively inform them that they're attorneys and their phone numbers. It's possible that the recorded calls were with attorneys who failed to do this, I don't know.
But even if there is no serious violation here, the outright financial abuse the company is engaging in is despicable.
Yes, there is a strong correlation. However, the cause of dangerous areas is not that they tend to have a lot of blacks in them. It's that they tend to be very poor. That there are lots of blacks in those areas is due to our racist society.
To bring up race when discussing this issue is to distract from the actual issues and to imply that the issue is something inherent to the race.
My comment has nothing to do with political correctness and everything to do with trying to identify the actual problem.

Or the opposite. Where I live, the most popular beer by sales is one that is brewed and bottled in town. Such hyper-localization is becoming less rare in many industries, even tech.
Re: Re: The Intercept's Tor-enabled SecureDrop platform
There is no evidence that Tor has been fundamentally broken. However, there has been a cat-and-mouse game with Tor from the very start, and weaknesses are periodically found and fixed.
"Following the example" wouldn't be that. It would be to stop stockpiling military weaponry because you wanted a better relationship with your neighbors. Which is not a terrible idea.
Laws can become out of date, of course. But in those cases, the argument or objection to the law is not "it's too old". It's the the law has become incorrect.
You argue against the law on its merits, not on its age.
That's not an important detail from my point of view. The issue isn't whether or not leaking the information is illegal. It's whether or not it's right.
Yep. I hate arguments that say a law is questionable because it's old. How long it's been on the books is irrelevant. There are very good laws that have been around for as long as there have been laws, and there are brand-spanking new laws that are disastrous.
In addition to the other comments rebutting this, I'd like to add that your argument ignores the fact that the government is not supposed to be some "other" that has feelings and motivations apart from the citizens. Rather, us citizens are supposed to be the government.
That would take time, effort, and money. The TSA isn't concerned with effectiveness anyway. They're concerned with increasing their own power and training the public to be subservient.
Not only that, but Google was a late-comer to the thing. They didn't really want to take part, but they saw which way the wind was blowing and didn't want to look like they were siding with the bad guys.
Greenbacks refer to the bills used during the civil war. While they are still technically legal tender, they are not circulated because they are worth much, much more as collectors items than as cash.
Greenbacks came in two forms: demand notes, which were not originally legal tender but could be used to pay customs duties, and United States notes, which were legal tender and the nation's first fiat currency.
Demand notes stopped being printed in 1862, US notes in 1865.
And now it's out of style in high school set, and increasingly with the college crowd. It's thought of as the place where businesses and old farts hang out.
