curious amount of negativity in here. what exactly is the concern? zoom is a corporate product. your electronic business activities are probably governed by lawyer-approved documents you signed like an AUP/NDA/consent to be monitored, so why are you concerned about privacy? dont want attention tracking? thats a feature, not a "privacy" bug (you expect personal privacy and freedom during business meetings?). bosses love this kind of metric, and not without reason. maybe if your meeting "attention" rate is low, theres an issue a boss could solve to make the business and employee's lives better. also you can just turn your camera off in zoom. > According to the company’s privacy policy, Zoom collects reams of data on you, including your name, physical address, email address, phone number, job title, employer. this is nonsense. how would installing zoom, as a meeting participant or host, collect your phone number and physical address? im sure their privacy policy says this, but that is very different than the zoom client actively scavenging computers for personal information. THAT would be a story >it will collect and keep data on what type of device you are using, and your IP address so... like almost every single piece of the internet? most personal IP addresses rotate, and who cares about your corporate ip? this has to be the lowest value and most common data point there is. not great, but not alarming. >Do not use Facebook to sign in hard to see a legitimate use-case for this. the corporate account features of zoom means everyone gets an account with their corporate email address, so why did they ever integrate with facebook? seems likely about scavenging data, but maybe theyre just trying to be trendy. all in all, seems like a hit-piece. hit-pieces arent necessarily wrong, but they are always agenda-based. maybe the agenda is something i agree with, but i dont know richie koch or what protonmail's stake in the game is in order to take this at face value without any actual details and sources.
