Zoom didn&#x27;t just lie about it, they actively intercepted and sold data to Google and Facebook [0].<p>I have no idea how they&#x27;re still operating as a company. Just being that company that lied about its cryptography is bad enough that it should be wound up. But to have lied to sell data and still be trying to smug it out 5 years later! Simply beyond belief.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arstechnica.com&#x2F;tech-policy&#x2F;2021&#x2F;08&#x2F;zoom-to-pay-85m-for-lying-about-encryption-and-sending-data-to-facebook-and-google&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arstechnica.com&#x2F;tech-policy&#x2F;2021&#x2F;08&#x2F;zoom-to-pay-85m-...</a>
