So if you value your privacy don't use Zoom...              The Zoom docs/manual does not mention anything about security/privacy. I        missed that the first time. But now that you mention it, the privacy        aspect is completely missing.              It does boast "private" sessions.. but that is not the same as encrypted        or truly private.              Zoom seems to cater to the "if it's free, it can't hurt (I have nothing to        hide), and it's fun!" mentality (aka, the mezmerized uneducated minions).              In return for "free", they probably take the position to collect the meta        data or include a bot on your pc to monitor your use.              OTOH, https://jitsi.org/ promises privacy. It might the better choice if        anyone cares about privacy.                      ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.43        * Origin: /|ug's Point, Ont.
