These are the same fake news drones who defend the "defund the police" movement. He "spied on them" when he dialed in to a conference.
'Suppression media!': Trump slams CNN over boss Jeff Zucker's hacked conference calls in which he tells staff not to 'normalize Trump's erratic behavior' - as network reports Project Veritas to cops for 'spying on them'
I don't think it was just dialing in to the meeting, Bripat. I use Zoom most every day for conferences, meetings, and for classes I initiate. They all show who else is in the Zoom; uninvited guests are easily booted off. Only the host can give a participant permission to record, and Zuckerberg obviously wouldn't have given it to O'Keefe. So the correct wording here is HACKED. Which last I knew was illegal.
So uninformed
He was invited in and given the dial in number
By a (wait for it) whistleblower.
then it's not hacking if someone FW'd the invite to him. the invite may or may not include the password for ease of meeting entry. but again, once there, a participant can't record someone elses meeting UNLESS the admin of the meeting set the option to allow it. maybe he recorded it with an external device and not local.
who knows. but it still seems like a ton of risk to prove something everyone already knows.
Democrats don't know how to run a secure teleconference...surprise, surprise. Another 'hot mic' incident, and liberals are pissed they got caught.....again.
No, the default is that only the host can record. In order for anyone else to record, the host has to make that person a co- host, and that doesn't happen accidentally.
You can record simply by using an app that records what's on your screen.
you still would need to notify the participants as far as i know. in multi-region meetings you usually must assume 2 party consent and ask for permission.
Nope. If the person recording is in a one-party state, the other participants to the call do not need to be notified and consent, even if they are in two party States. At least that's the law in Mississippi, Kansas, and other one-party states that I have litigated cases involving this very issue.
Like I believe you have litigated shit. But if that is the case, can a hacker break into a private business conversation, and since the hacker gives himself permission to record the call in a one-party State, it is legit? Seriously, I can hack into the presidents daily briefing, and I can hack in from a one-party state, I can release classified information without legal repercussions? Come on, impress me, tell me the truth. I mean this shit is getting beyond stupid.
I don't give a shit what you believe, I've litigated cases in federal court in 13 states. Your scenario is ridiculous, as sharing classified information is always against the law. Those CNN calls were not classified information briefings. Also, there's no indication he "hacked" into the call.
If you are a real lawyer I don't understand why you can't see the problems here. This is the morning editorial meeting. It is not open to the public. It is "proprietary" information. Not really sure how O'Keefe got access to this meeting, one source claims it was a person in the IT department. And there has been much discussion about one-party consent, but the reality is O'Keefe was ZERO PARTY. He did not participate in the conversation.
You can't give the IT dude some money so you can listen in on private business meetings and then broadcast the meeting to anyone and everyone. You don't get whisteblower protections unless laws are being broken. And I swear, nothing is more ironic than Trumpbots screaming for whistleblower protection. In Trump's world, whisteblowers get FIRED.
I mean let's spin up this scenario. I know someone that works in the IT department at a major competitor of the company I work for. He gives me access to that company's daily strategy meeting. I record the meeting, I learn their strategies, their upcoming sales, the merchandising initiatives, and I deliver them to my boss. Do I get protection because I live in a one-party consent state? Maybe they claim to be the low cost leader and I find out they are instead charging more than the competition on certain products, do I get whisteblower protection? Or hell, maybe I got this badass blog and I call myself a journalist, does that give me a license to break the law?
Here is my problem. Some things are just common sense. It is common damn sense that you can't listen in on private business meeting of public, or private companies, and release the information you discover. Hell, you can't even listen in and not release any information. CNN is bias. No damn shit. Fox is bias, and there are other news outlets that are more propaganda outlets than anything else. Aldous Huxley predicted this shit when computers were the size of a barn. And O'Keefe is a known entity. He has pleaded guilty to illegal behavior. He has been sanctioned. If his lawyers tell him he is in the clear the first thing he needs to do is fire the damn lawyers. Personally, I believe his lawyers have told him his ass is in a sling.
And you have to understand why I fail to believe you are a lawyer. The whole one-party consent bullshit. Evidently, you can secretly tape private meetings and you are protected because you gave yourself permission to tape the conversations that you don't even participate in. I am not a lawyer. But I am also not a damn dumbass. If you are not party to the conversation you can't claim one-party protection. Matter of fact, from my understanding of the law, both federal and most states, if you are not party to the conversation you have to have permission from ALL parties.
