It's a bit odd how everyone's attacking Zoom when none of the other common solutions have proper e2e encryption either.
The odd thing is that EARN-IT pushers want to ban strong encryption "for the children" but they want to excoriate Zoom over weak encryption "for the children".
Don't know what is going on at Zoom, but I suspected at least part of it sneaky. For example, about 3 or 4 weeks ago I heard about this company, and learned that it has R&D in China per its SEC filing at IPO. However, checked its website, the career section led me to https://jobs.lever.co/zoom , and there was ONLY one opening at China per the website (I remember it was a position at marketing department). Then I sear…
It could be they advertise jobs in different regions on different systems, to get the closest reach to the potential hirees.
However, Zoom's biggest advantage is also its biggest risk, if they want to be part of the communication infrastructure of any business/government/university/etc in western countries, especially after so many security incidents that happened in the past years.
Does it count as lying when it's ridiculously obvious that you're lying?

Why is having engineers in China cause for suspicion? Lots of tech companies have engineers in China. Eg Microsoft.

Am i the only one struggling to use Zoom properly since they introduced the latest security changes? The slack integration (write /zoom to start a meeting) was working ok-ish even though we always had problem with the meeting not starting unless the host of the meeting was logged in (gosh...why so complicated?) Now they added this waiting room, there is no sound notification to let you know that people are waiting. D…
For our daily standup we use meet.google.com as it's more convenient than ZOOM. ymmv ofc
We were using Slack's built-in conferencing at first, but aside from the quality being generally bad, there was a 15 person limit, and we're ~ 17 people.
I didn't want us to use Zoom with everything that's going on, so I suggested Google Meet. We tried it, and it worked, but not well—people's voices would frequently break up and become hard to hear.
And so we tried Zoom this past Monday.
It was incredible. I could actually hear and see everyone. I'm not happy about all their issues, but damn their product is just really good.
Note that the lawsuit is a class action for shareholders of Zoom stock. Filing: https://i.judge.sh/natural/Babs/1-main.pdf

Seeing as encryption is illegal in China, I don't think they will need to give up any keys.
>Seeing as encryption is illegal in China Source for this? That would make any https site in china illegal.

tl;dr: encryption is not completely illegal, but it sounds like it's pretty tightly controlled.
How many of Zoom's recent issues can be explained by just bad engineering? Because my personal gripes with Zoom are mostly about its quality as a software product, which I find to be abysmal for my use cases.
What issues have come up for you?
