Love this idea! Just few weeks ago we had a little scandal in my country, when password to top-level government coronavirus-related Zoom meeting was leaked by one of the politicians accidentally on Facebook and random people started hijacking it and it was hilarious (part of it was uploaded to YT, skip to 3:12 for their reactions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ub82Xb1C8os https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ub82Xb1C8os)

Well I don't know what I was expecting

  The UK PM did tweet images of cabinet meetings containing the id, albeit after the meetings were finished. This turned into a few security stories e.g. https://www.theverge.com/2020/4/1/21202584/zoom-security-privacy-issues-video-conferencing-software-coronavirus-demand-response https://www.theverge.com/2020/4/1/21202584/zoom-security-pri... At the time, people were (at least) less aware of the password options for zoom calls, so it was easy to hijack meetings knowing only that id if the host wasn't careful. I don't think you can be faulted for expecting this to have happened again.

Super video. Related, a Dutch governmental meeting got disrupted by people saying racist things [0]. The politicians now don't trust zoom, and claim it was hacked... But they published the link on their website and didn't set a password )facepalm(. They are now also afraid of getting viruses via zoom (even though they went digital to avoid them huehuehue).

Polish politicians had this in 2013: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vljNIU38sUU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vljNIU38sUU (For context: Macierewicz is a nutjob politician at PiS, then opposition, now ruling party. He led an unscientific "investigation comitee" to explain how Smolensk 2010 plane crash happened. It obviously never really explained everything, for its goal was to accrue political capital on the death of president Lech Kaczyński (PiS), claiming it was Russian interference, TNT, artificial fog, birch and whatnot.)

  The youtube link doesn't work in Canada. Here's a mirror someone uploaded to Vimeo though https://vimeo.com/148751763 https://vimeo.com/148751763

  Might this be an opportunity for Platforma Obywatelska to run a campaign claiming Rickrolling promotes an ideology more harmful than even Osoby LGBT? (on second thought, maybe encouraging politicians to troll, no matter how amusingly, might be counterproductive)
