>Quarterly results for a publicly traded company before they are published. If those are leaked before the official time / date, whoever gets it first has an unfair advantage. They may get charged with insider trading, and the leaker as well.
If this kind of thing is now done on a Zoom call, how is it any different than prior to Zoom being in the meeting, hearing the information and passing it on via another means, like a phone call? What value would leaking the call as in your example have?
I'm struggling a bit to think of any examples of private information being leaked that have really changed because of Zoom. Trusted employees are able to leak private corporate information, always have been.
