I think of it as a warning to future companies who take these kind of liberties...
- thedudeabides5 7y agoI mean, isn't this stuff they can fix? Like good that the market is stressing them on their security, at $30bn they should be able to engage with that feedback and then loop. On the other hand, tried to use Skype lately? Product has barely evolved since they were bought out by MSFT. Guess google does videoconferencing too, but they know enough about us all already....
- lutorm 7y agoThey can fix the code, but would people trust them when they say that the code is fixed? Trust needs to be earned.
- dividedbyzero 7y agoPeople trust them even though their security is broken. Lots of people don't know, lot don't care, quite a few probably don't get it anyway.
- discordance 7y agoIt’ll take a new CEO before people will trust them again, kind of like what happened at Uber.
- Igelau 7y agoWho are you hoping picks up this little unit of opinion? Are you hoping to see it quoted, or just vaguely referred to as "growing discontent" and know that you were in there? Such a strangely extreme viewpoint to suddenly jump to.
- matthewaveryusa 7y agoThe warning being that it doesn't matter because it doesn't affect their share price right? So far I haven't seen any tangible damage to them when it comes to $$.
- snazz 7y agoIt's been a somewhat noticeable hit, but they're still doing great overall: https://www.google.com/search?q=zm+stock https://www.google.com/search?q=zm+stock
- mbesto 7y agoShare price aside...it's the most reliable video conferencing app while others are crumbling to infrastructure pressure (UberConf, GotoMeeting, etc). Their downloads are through the roof right now: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/zoom-tops-weekly-download-charts/ar-BB124jNe https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/zoom-tops-weekly-d...
- jasonv 7y agoLet's see where they are in 6 or 12 month's time and what they go through to get there. Other nascent companies will tip their "We want to grow like Zoom" hat and it'll serve as a warning sign as to what the growth mentality is. Anyway, my point was... I don't think they've taken too much grief yet, for what they've done. They deserve all the lumps they're getting, and that may (hopefully) be instructive. [And yeah, there are always companies that do this kind of thing... some are Facebook, and some trip into a hole.]
- amachefe 7y agoThis sounds like Zoom hate, which I am seeing a lot nowadays. The irony is that it is coming from tech while the av Joe's doesn't really care.
