[liberationtech] BlueJeans claims to offer secure video conferencing. Is that true?

[Andrés Leopoldo Pacheco Sanfuentes]

The Unfortunate part of this type of marketing appeal is that it works and draws lots of people (including a niece that had a supercool literary reading on that service yesterday thinking it was better than the alternatives I guess - zoom google etc..)

But if it’s false then I hope lawyers get to work and file “deceitful Advertising “ lawsuits against the service..
