    But you can say “Just so you know, this phone call is being recorded” and if they continue to talk, they are implicitly giving consent

    Which makes it kind of bullshit and not two-party, since in many cases this is effectively the only means of communicating with these companies. There is no real option to not consent, especially in the case of healthcare companies, since it’s not like a person can just choose to not have a body with real medical concerns (and in the US you legally can’t even go uninsured without penalty). Calling this “two party” at this point is a fucking joke.

      You can literally choose to not say anything about threatening or murdering someone over a recorded call.

        Yes of course. But maybe we don’t have to stick only to specific bad example and can speak to the practice in general, perhaps?
