“We won’t use your calls to train AI without your consent, so it’s a good thing our new TOS includes you giving us your consent.”
Exactly. They can say whatever the hell they want. In the end only the ToS matters. If the ToS says they can, then they will.
Fuck Zoom. It was always a piece of shit software that was never all that secure to begin with. I hope they go out of business soon.
Yeah, they’re the VHS of video calling software.
the company i’m currently working at started to adopt jitsi meet when the lockdowns began and it worked just fine, but some higher up execs found it to be not fancy enough so they introduced zoom and since them the only ones using jitsi - we even licenced and branded it for our needs - are those outside the ceo/cfo-circles. i always try to advocate for “secure, private” services and software to co-workers, successfully introduced signal instead of whatsapp for work related chats, but in case of zoom, i’m biting on concrete. “it’s so convenient and since we pay for it …”
Five months later:
Zoom did in fact use this data without consent
Zoom: Oopsie, that wasn’t our intention, haha
OMG you’re a time traveler!
Oops we’ve be caught, better backtrack!
Watch it be opt out.
Opting out = not using zoom
Sort of theoretically opt out for some users
You have to read a 6 page Eula and that’s the only place with a link to opt out. In theory, I’m just spitballing.
What they say doesn’t matter, it’s what they write that matters.
Just ditch zoom. There are plenty of other alternatives. I use jitsi meet: https://meet.jit.si/
