This is like suing Hillshire Farms because their bacon wasn't as maple-honey-bourbon-flavored as they claimed. Nobody is buying bacon just for flavoring. People use Zoom because it's a free digital telephone with screen sharing. Not because it's super duper secure.
Telephones (VoIP, PSTN, SMS, etc) do not have end-to-end encryption - or any encryption - and we've been using them for conferences since always. Hell, we use them for Zoom calls!
This is some kind of government vendetta, probably pushed by Zoom's competitors who make a bundle in government contracts. Because they're currently the biggest provider, they're the biggest target. But this standard has not been (and will not be) held up to any of its competitors who make similar claims. The political party that is sabre-rattling in this article is just making themselves look good to their constituents.
