With more and more of the world, and especially Silicon Valley, being locked-down and quarantined, video conferencing is obviously going through the roof and Zoom seems to be winning. It's just getting a lot of attention, and any flaws are suddenly more impactful.
- neltnerb 7y agoOn the one hand, all the attention (if pride is removed from the equation) should be win-win since remote workers might end up less spied on or hacked and zoom still makes a huge profit.

- neltnerb 7y agoBut in answer to "why is HN shitting all over Zoom", I think the answer is "because they aren't doing good enough". There's no malice there (on the posters' side). If Zoom does better people won't have cause for shining a flashlight on their data privacy policies or security holes. We will see if Zoom grows up fast, since the momentum towards them is already so large I don't see it changing prior to the Fall when schools might risk re-evaluating their tools.
