Yet another reason why Canada sucks ass! Guess what app isn’t available? You guessed it the one that you were talking about.

This app is currently not available in your country or region. What’s it like, anyways. What exactly does one do with it

This is what I found out about this app through Gemini. I don't know if this is right, but I would be very apprehensive and hesitant to ever use anything like this. Neon (often tracked as Neon - Money Talks) is indeed a mobile application that pays users, but it operates under a very unique and controversial premise: it pays you for your phone call audio data. How It Works * The Concept: The app pitches itself as a way for everyday consumers to take back financial value from the data they generate. * Earning Money: You make and receive phone calls through the Neon app. It typically pays around 15 cents per minute if you are talking to a non-Neon user, and about 30 cents per minute if both people are using the app. There is usually a daily earnings cap (around $30 per day for call time), alongside referral bonuses. * The Buyer: Neon collects and anonymizes these phone conversations (stripping out personal identifiers like names and numbers) and sells the voice and audio data to third-party AI companies to help train speech recognition and language models. Key Risks & Privacy Concerns While making a bit of extra cash by talking on the phone sounds appealing, security experts and tech analysts have raised major red flags about the app: * Privacy Trade-off: You are essentially trading your voice data and conversational content for a small amount of money. Even though Neon states they anonymize the data and strip personal information, your voice pattern and vocal data are being handed over to corporate entities and AI developers. * Broad Terms of Service: Security audits of Neon's terms and privacy policies have pointed out that they grant themselves broad, sweeping rights to use, distribute, and monetize the data you provide. Furthermore, simply deleting the app from your phone doesn't automatically close your account or stop future recordings if another user calls you—you have to manually close your account through the settings. * Legal/Consent Issues: Recording phone calls without explicit notice to the person on the other end can run afoul of local wiretap and two-party consent laws, depending on where you live. * Reliability and Payouts: User reviews across the App Store and Google Play are mixed. While some users successfully cash out small amounts, many report technical glitches, missed call notifications, trouble reaching customer support, or difficulty hitting the payout thresholds. If you choose to look into it, it's worth weighing whether a few cents a minute is truly worth handing your voice data and conversational privacy over to AI developers.

That does sound really sketchy. I think it’s for the best than that It’s not available here.

As long as you understand the risk, it’s your own data to do as you please. Think of it like mineral mining

Yeah, poor Canada. They get screwed. They get screwed and everything sadly. When it comes to these type of aspects.
