Why is the United States still doing business with Chinese businesses? They are all nothing but fronts for Chinese government spies and corrupt officials.

And the fact that their sleazy act of secretly sharing data with Facebook has no bearing on whether this application should be trusted by anyone? What else have they failed on from the get-go? They are not worthy of ANYONE'S trust, scalability be damned!

Hope China has fun watching me read to a 2 and 5 year old on zoom.

That's a short-sighted way of saying that you don't care if China adds your face to their facial recognition database and links it to other information such as the Office of Personnel Management data breach. Once your face on Zoom is matched to your OPM profile, your IP address will be targeted for privilege escalation attacks.

I think this is fear-mongering. Zoom is an American company that saves money by using Chinese programmers. Admittedly their encryption is a little weak and their installer and app have flaws that deserve attention. People running meetings without passwords are not even trying to maintain privacy, so telling everyone that those meetings can be broken into is unnecessarily alarmist. And sending decryption keys but none of the data for the session has no espionage value, so the CEO's statements that it was an error and not a key gathering design seems a reasonable explanation. I wouldn't have been using it so much if any of the other services actually scaled when the demand spiked, but they didn't. Availability is part of the security triangle after all.
