I hate to use a "think of the children" argument, since they're so often used by fascists, but, uh, since so many schools used Zoom during the height of COVID, this does not bode well for privacy reasons.

Dollars to donuts, Zoom will sell videos of children and teenagers to cops and national spy agencies, and they will be trackable for the rest of their lives.
