      Bullshit. California has no jurisdiction over people in one-party consent states.

      The California court decision it cites (Kearney v. Salomon Smith Barney, Inc. (2006)) is being misinterpreted: the “Georgia” party in that instance was a corporation that also does business in California, and that is what made it subject to California law. The notion that its precedent creates some “general rule” is a blatant fucking lie.

      Okay, but if it’s broken, how does the person know let alone what CAN they do.

      The article doesn’t cover how they recover the damages in another state. Having the laws is only one small portion of the picture.

      It being legal federally is a hurdle on its own.
