I am willing to chalk this up to an honest mistake considering "end-to-end" encryption as being from the client's end to the server, although that's not the accepted use of the term. This appears to be their explanation. I hope their marketing team fixes this now that it's been pointed out to them though.

That’s not an honest mistake. It’s an inexcusable fuckup. End to end encryption is not a difficult concept. Redefining the “ends” doesn’t excuse Zoom’s continually shady behavior.

A single honest mistake in the privacy/security area is already close to inexcusable. Zoom has a proven terrible track record in anything security and privacy related. So letting this one go would be very very naive.

  Sorry I'm just getting to this now. I'm not really seeing how this is relevant or how the post is justified. People edit their profiles all the time, and have a right to. It's up to them what they want to put in there. This comment seems to be crossing into personal attack and a mild sort of doxxing. Please don't go there on HN. Also, please don't repost comments that were flag-killed (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22738656 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22738656). https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
