Your post seems a little over the top.
Millions are still using Zoom. Its shares are still trading at an enormous premium.
The technical discussion is something altogether different, and people are allowed to have that, regardless of your consternation. And hopefully a better product comes out of it.
"if you use the definition of e2e in the article, nothing apple does is e2e either"
This bit of sad whataboutism is technical nonsense, though. No, Apple, and a number of other vendors, actually do this right.
I honestly think Zoom's engineers, who have made a number of rudimentary serious technical blunders, thought "end-to-end encryption" meant "it's encrypted during every stage of transport". I've seen a number of companies make this mistake.

I've seen a number of companies make this mistake. This means they're incompetent, full stop. I don't think that at all. I think the marketing team is just full of shit.
- betterunix2 7y agoI think the engineers told the marketing team that they implemented E2E and the marketing ran with it. The same engineers who rolled their own crypto using ECB mode probably thought they were telling the truth. The marketing team probably asked if they had used blockchain too. Until recently they were just another a small company trying to build a customer base in a crowded market.
