So the pandemic hit, use of teleconferencing apps shot up, and then security issues were identified in one of the most popular apps. How does that refute the comment you’re responding to?


For zoom in particular, they were calling the app e2e encrypted, when it wasn’t. That’s not a security issue, that is a lie.

They were also (among other well known apps) caught snooping clipboard contents. That’s not something you do accidentally.

What else... reinstalling themselves after you remove them?

That’s 3 anti-user practices I can think of off the top of my head - no doubt there are more.


I think the point is that as a small app. The security issues aren’t seen or found. So any parent comments about bigger apps being worse than other apps doesn’t work in this case or have any solid evidence of in general.
