This can't end well. I've already sent emails to our exec and data security departments about this.

Zoom terms of service now allow training AI on user content with no opt out

@devlogic How can they use streams to train AI if it is supposedly E2EE?
Show threadDave Lane  🇳🇿Aug 7, 2023
@yourfutureex @devlogic if a company controls the client app at the end points, they have access to it all, even if it is E2EE. Similarly WhatsApp.

@yourfutureex @devlogic people using Zoom could always *stop* using it. After all, outstanding #LibreSoftware options exist, and can be self-hosted or by trusted 3rd party suppliers. Have a look at #BigBlueButton https://bigbluebutton.org & #JitsiMeet https://meet.jit.si

If you host your own (or pay someone you trust to do so), no arbitrary cut-off times. There're no per-person costs, no institutional licenses, & *no software install required*. They work with any modern browser.

@lightweight @yourfutureex @devlogic Hard to stop using it when it’s the enterprise system at work….

@nikkireimer what I recommend to people in your position is to *register your dissent*. Let people in a position to change the corporate policy know that you're using their chosen solution under duress. Might not change anything, but then again it might. Accepting it silently will be mistaken for approval. @yourfutureex @devlogic

@lightweight:

One context in which this might be useful would be a class action lawsuit.

Which is to say, if people do it a lot, corporate lawyers will be advising even more for lobbying against the possibility of class action lawsuits.
