There are a lot of people blowing things out of proportion who don't know what they're talking about. However these things are newsworthy and probably worth Zoom fixing. (I think to a certain extent if I say something like "It's dumb that Zoom doesn't have real e2e encryption and they should fix it." That sounds harsh and I mean it. That said I'm still going to use Zoom unless something with equivalent UX and e2e encryption comes along. (Someday there will be a solid cross-platform native p2p video client with e2e encryption.)

FaceTime? It probably doesn't work at conference scale but it is E2E. > We designed iMessage and FaceTime to use end-to-end encryption, so there’s no way for Apple to decrypt the content of your conversations when they are in transit between devices. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT209110 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT209110

  But that's a total lie, isn't it? They can just send your iPhone a public key owned by Apple. Or they can put a backdoor in the app and get you to install an upgrade.

  FaceTime isn’t cross platform.

E2E is snake oil at the moment. Nobody has developed a reasonable UX to let people exchange keys, and closed source clients that can be centrally updated render any such encryption pointless. It could be disabled at a moment's notice and you'd never know. I don't blame Zoom for not investing in it.

  The problem isn’t that Zoom is lacking E2E. The problem is they claim to have it and actually don’t.
