[technology taskforce] The Intercept : Zoom Meetings Aren’t End-to-End Encrypted, Despite Misleading Marketing

[Satish Babu]

Scalability is a third factor where Zoom excels. As of now, apart from the
privacy angle, there is no competition to Zoom.

I wonder if ICANN can negotiate with Zoom to see if its meetings can move
out of the data sharing arrangements that Zoom is part of.

With kind regards
