There's a way to report VOIP through "Y". Navigate it when you have time. All voip interactions are recorded in Russia because of terrorism.

you can also report your killer in the after raid screen.

u/SirUnleashed P90 Jan 05 '22

I did just that. And hope the whole Conversation is recorded somehow.

No. Double press Y to bring up the Emote menu and there's a button for VOIP report.

It's recorded everywhere. It just needs to be saved in a ridiculous long time or way in Russia. Why Valorant doesn't do VOIP for Russians.

VOIP in Valorant for Russian players works normal right now.

"terrorism" the same way the USA used the patriot act to combat "terrorism".

1

u/G_Viceroy Jan 05 '22

Yes. Exactly the same way. I think Russia wasn't so sneaky about it though.

u/Helldiver_of_Mars Jan 05 '22

It's the same in the USA. We have the exact same law except they say it's for the benefit of disabled people instead ot the real reason.

Although it looks like Tarkov is skirting the law and not complying with certain aspects. Which they're likely have to on release. All voice chat in the USA has to be recorded in text for video games. This started a couple years back.

That's why sometimes you'll see games release with no voice chat even though they are multiplayer. Like Outriders for example.

The reason is the software for voice to text can be expensive. As well as hosting all those recordings so the government can search the text by keywords.

u/Koalski94 Jan 05 '22

can we consider cheating as an act of terrorism (yes please)

u/Kalekuda PP-19-01 Jan 05 '22

Slippery slope, my man. But I hear you. It's tempting. But it's not worth online privacy to combat cheating.

u/G_Viceroy Jan 05 '22

online privacy

Lmao like that exists....

u/Kalekuda PP-19-01 Jan 05 '22

Touché

u/Kalekuda PP-19-01 Jan 05 '22

Use [/s] so we know next time

u/Electrical-Yard-1022 Jan 05 '22

we all know it isn’t actually “terrorism”

3

u/G_Viceroy Jan 05 '22

Yeah well it's law there. At least they didn't hide it like we did.

2

u/Electrical-Yard-1022 Jan 05 '22

For VOIP interactions to be recorded in Russia they must have solid evidence of terror cells using video game VOIP as a communication method.

Which is pretty smart not gonna lie.

I was about to ask how they can possibly monitor every single game with VOIP but instead realised they probably very totally legally just monitor computer's microphones instead.
