trust only works in retrospect. Zoom has done nothing in its past to deserve that trust.
If one can live with a software that behaves like malware (disabling of a hosts security controls and fake claims about e2ee) than nothing can convince them. Chances are they've committed to Zoom long before and it's now impossible to walk them back to a different reasoning. It's like arguing with a QAnon supporter about reality (Impossible).
Also it's much easier to convince somebody to use product than it's to get them to stop using it. The latter has a cost (pride) but the former is free.
- ftbai 7y ago> trust only works in retrospect. Seems somewhat odd to abide by this kind of principle instead of considering the real changes which we believe have been made, as Zoom seems to have cleaned up their act to some degree in response to the backlash, though you might think not enough. In any case, if you're being watched, you're not likely to cut corners, and Zoom is being watched. I'm not surprised if the 'suspicious public' effect averages out over all cases to account for the chance that a company is still keeping some unsavory practices under the covers.

- DyslexicAtheist 7y agoagain? who said I ever used it? webex was already rubbish in 2012. the only reason webex is still being cited in 2020 in a whataboutist manner is that there are at least 75K internal CISCO employees forced to continue useing it on a daily basis.
