I wonder if there's a legal loophole here? Specifically this works by transcribing "important conversations" into text, it's not actually storing .mp3 recordings. Obviously still disgusting and I hate it.

    The legal loophole is Google can afford to pay the fine. They make more money breaking ze law than they do following they law

    Not a lawyer, but as far as I got it, the storing isn't the punishable part, the recording is.

    You can't have security cameras filming public spaces (like the road in front of your house). Even if its dummies, as people couldn't tell the difference whether the camera actually films them or not.
