  It strikes me that if trust was a big an issue to most people as it appears to be to you, the US would have a different president. I'm not knocking the need for trust, but trusting an closed source code served up by a central server is a bit of stretch for me. The temptation to monetise it is huge, and failing the governments around the world are give themselves permission to order the centralised server to decrypt it and send them a copy, and keep quiet about it. Finally there is absolutely no visibility to keep the vendor honest. They can silently update their code at any point without telling you, include switches that turn any feature off and on without you being aware of it and with little risk of researchers seeing it. In circumstances like that any "trust" seems to me to be a huge stretch. About the best you can hope for competition is going to keep respecting the customers needs rather than their own need for money. It better to assume it's sent in the clear - which is what I assume with zoom.
