Actually from what I’m reading, people just aren’t turning on the privacy features. Run naked through the internet you’re gonna catch stuff.

Dang... My wife wanted to coordinate a zoom meeting with family in another State... Think maybe we’ll hold off on that. See how all this shakes out.

In the last 2 weeks, due to Covid-19, I have been invited to Zoom “street party,” a Zoom class reunion, and a Zoom “happy hour.”

I’m not an old fart, but I find such social gatherings held on Zoom (or Skype, or anything similar) to be simply bizarre.

Now I have another reason to avoid them.

Then, blend/marry it with Facebook for some real fun.

they’re responsive. zoom has pushed out three updates over the past week to deal with their issues. can’t be beat for end user freindliness. MS Teams tries to pull in the rest of O365 whether you want to or not. gotomeeting’s licensing bureaucracy is almost as suicide inducing as microsoft.

if you’re looking for a lightweight, easy to light up videoconferencing tool (as opposed to a full blown collaberation tool), zoom is a perfectly adequate solution. the phone apps are also solid.

apparently, everybody is afraid of everything these days, including their VC app.

"Zoom takes its users' privacy extremely seriously."

I'm sure they do! There is a lot of money to made with your personal data, so they want as much of your private information as possible! Seriously!

"Zoom shares data with enough advertisers and data crunchers, in enough states, that it would broadly qualify as selling your data. "
