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

[msunet]

+1 on bo0od's question-asking framework. Like we saw with zoom, you cannot rely on the marketing or anything a company tells you these days. The source code and their actions speak for themselves.

I am also not a lawyer, but false marketing like this could be illegal (especially if that gives you an edge on competitors). For these cases, I always email the EFF at info at eff.org (gpg keys on their Website).
