“If Zoom users are data breached I personally won't feel sorry for them like some other breaches like Equifax for example. They've signed up to this to secure a bit of convenience.”

I think that’s a bit unfair of a stance to take. As an example, I know someone who doesn’t want to use Zoom, but thanks to their university classes going online-only due to COVID-19, some of their professors have forced them to use Zoom for lectures, presentations, and examinations.



That. I am personally in that boat and I in my class I had no choice, but to use Zoom for it. The problem with "you don't want it, don't use it" mantra is, it is ignoring cases like mine. In law, those tend to be characterized as contracts of adhesion.

edit: clarity


Same. $WORK moved from Whereby to Zoom (to handle more people in the weekly video meeting) which means I have to use Zoom - but I'm only using the iOS version and without signing up for an account.
