Neon will pay money to record you: Neon Mobile is currently ranked #2 in the iOS App Store in the social networking category, and it has a… let’s say unique premise. The company pays you to make phone calls, which they record and sell as data to AI companies. In exchange for their total loss of privacy, users receive 30 cents per minute when they call other Neon users, and up to $30 per day just for chatting on the phone with anyone in particular. (There are also benefits for referrals, of course.) Though the Terms of Service suggest Neon reserves the right to record both your inbound and outbound calls, the company’s marketing says it’s only doing that when you phone other Neon users. Is this a fair trade-off, or a sign that Americans are getting increasingly desperate for reliable income streams? Both?!
