I missed that one, do you have a source?

- vinay427 6y agoThat source doesn't support the GP comment. End-to-end encryption 1. doesn't exist yet for any user, and 2. does not mean free user calls will be less encrypted than they are today with server-client encryption. Zoom is not claiming that paid calls today are E2E encrypted.
- kup0 6y agoYes but Zoom was saying that E2E is something they want to offer for their paid users, but that they will not offer it for free users. I think it's relevant to the parent comment in that they were asking for more information about what Zoom said concerning encryption on free vs paid users. I think most people mean E2E when they say encryption, because server-client encryption is almost a given now, and does nothing to stop companies from helping law enforcement.
