I don't think this is without basis? Zoom got some bad press. Unsure if Teams is any better.

- saddlerustle 5y ago#2 and #4 are both about Zoom having a botched e2e implementation (it was "e2e", but had server-side key management). That's not really a win for Teams since it doesn't even try to support e2e.
- ignoramous 5y ago> #2 and #4 are both about Zoom having a botched e2e implementation I'd reckon Zoom engs know what's e2ee and what's not. I tend to agree with folks who say their sales team purposefully lied to win deals.
- pydry 5y agoThe bad press it got looked more like the result of a sustained PR campaign against them than anything natural. I remember the Facebook thing alone getting about as much airtime as MS's three teams zero days despite being insignificant by comparison. E2E encryption that isn't properly end to end is newsworthy but it isn't a good reason to justify selecting a competing product that doesn't even try.
