The fact that they show end users (no pun intended) an "end-to-end encrypted" badge on the meeting window itself, and elsewhere explain how a Zoom server (not Zoom client) is what constitutes an "end" despite the whole rest of the electronic communication industry using "end-to-end" to refer exclusively to user agents, is bonkers.
Using their definition, one would wonder what non-end-to-end encryption would look like.

Zoom and Slack are both FedRamp authorized for government use. Zoom is even authorized Moderate, while Slack is still being audited for that rating. https://marketplace.fedramp.gov/#/product/zoom-for-governmen... https://marketplace.fedramp.gov/#/product/slack
You don't get zoom's government platform by default, you have to ask for it and I'll bet it has different pricing. I suspect you also lose some features, like recording (at least at the server). I haven't checked Zoom but other FedRamp products I've seen are 3x the price of the standard offering.

No, it doesn't. https://support.apple.com/guide/security/how-imessage-sends-...
Yes, it does. The messages are 'end to end' encrypted in the iMessage service, but then iMessage backs up its encryption key in the iCloud backup service, defeating the point. "If you have iCloud Backup turned on, your backup includes a copy of the key protecting your Messages. This ensures you can recover your Messages if you lose access to iCloud Keychain and your trusted devices." https://support.apple.com/en-us/H…

They are using the same language as Apple talking about iMessage and FaceTime. Apple talks about end to end encryption, but one end is iCloud which is why you can get your messages simultaneously on all devices.
FaceTime chats, though, truly are end-to-end encrypted and the calls aren't backed up like iMessages are.

E2E changed meaning since, for example, HIPAA.

The quality send to suffer when there are a large number of participants. Which is the reason zoom gets used so much.
My company uses Google meets and it works flawlessly with more than 100 people in a call. Automatic integration with GSuite and Chrome box are an added bonus.

#130I looked into adding Zoom to our Slack workspace this morning, and was beside myself with the set of permissions they requested — reading the contents of every channel and private chat they're included in? For a slash command? That's a hard no. Turned me off the service entirely.
