[liberationtech] Former FB security chief Alex Stamos consulting with Zoom on securityand safety

[bo0od]

You dont understand , there is no privacy and security while using 
proprietary software because simply no body know what is going on when 
running the app. To know it is secure and private and working as 
expected we need to check if whats claimed to be working is actually 
working through looking at the source code ofcourse.

and according to: 
https://theintercept.com/2020/04/03/zooms-encryption-is-not-suited-for-secrets-and-has-surprising-links-to-china-researchers-discover/

"Zoom’s Chief Product Officer Oded Gal later wrote a blog post in which 
he apologized on behalf of the company “for the confusion we have caused 
by incorrectly suggesting that Zoom meetings were capable of using 
end-to-end encryption.”"

because the app grilled by the citizenlab:

So if he want to be REAL about security,privacy= first step is free 
software the app. then LATER we talk about other stuff

currently is INSECURE, Not Recommended to be used in anyway.

Use Jitsi as an alternative better free software option.
