@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.

@bkbkbk@hachyderm.io @jmsdnns@mastodon.social that is how I interpret this as well. Still might be the thin end of the wedge but they don't appear to be stealing camera and audio data (yet) for GenAI. 🤔

@bkbkbk@hachyderm.io @jmsdnns@mastodon.social I’m not a lawyer, but I read sections 10.2 and 10.4 together to mean that Zoom (or anyone really, if they like) can use anything you send or receive (audio, video, chat messages, files etc.) as well as anything that Zoom might make of that (like auto-generated subtitles) in practically any way they like, including machine learning.
