NEON, THE NO. 2 SOCIAL APP ON THE APPLE APP STORE, PAYS USERS TO RECORD THEIR PHONE CALLS AND SELLS DATA TO AI FIRMS

Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter

Neon Mobile pays users for their audio conversations, selling the data to AI companies. It pays 30 cents per minute when users call other Neon users and up to $30 per day maximum for making calls to anyone else. Only Neon users are recorded during these calls. The app also pays for referrals. The app's privacy policy includes a very broad license to its user data that leaves plenty more room for the company to do with users' data than it claims. While the app raises many red flags, it may be technically legal.
