    @jmsdnns@mastodon.social Not remotely a fan of Zoom, but FWIW, that section of the TOS is specifically about ancillary data that Zoom generates based on usage and not user generated data: “…telemetry data, product usage data, diagnostic data, and similar content…” Unless I’m misreading it, this part of the TOS seems to be more for training “hey, it looks like you call Suzan around this time every week” and not “we’re going to steal your conversations and use them for data generation” data.

    @jmsdnns@mastodon.social Their security and privacy were terrible until, under massive public pressure, they fixed it. And then everyone kept using it because I guess they were magically no longer a shitty company looking to squeeze money out of their users every which way... and now, here we are. Just use Jitsi, for goodness' sake - why everyone hasn't switched to the perfectly capable, libre, self-hostable alternative is beyond me.

  • @jmsdnns@mastodon.social I tried reading section10.2 but I am bad at understanding legalese. What data is recorded? It says telemetry, product usage data, etc. But what are some examples of that? Is video and audio being recorded?

    @jmsdnns@mastodon.social Many medical providers use Zoom for tele-health. They claim to be HIPPA compliant, so I hope they’re not collecting any data, even meta data from those.

    @jmsdnns@mastodon.social the only reason any of us use zoom instead of jitsi or BBB or jami is the same reason why they don't want us to work from home -- they are scared about the consequences of workers who realize we actually don't need the management layer and are capable of self-organizing

    @jmsdnns@mastodon.social 10.4 is more horrifying as it includes customer content not 'just' metadata.

    @jmsdnns@mastodon.social i see Jitsi mentioned here as an alternative. But it's free, which raises a red flag for me - I've seen other "free" services do a bait-and-switch to suddenly be "use our great AI for a fee" ... and you just know that AI was fed on our "free"-ly provided data 😕

    @jmsdnns@mastodon.social this is especially concerning when you consider that the military relies heavily on zoom, both formally and informally. It should worry everyone that, even if nothing classified is discussed, that likenesses of our military members could be used in generative AI models.
