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?
@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 Jitsi fine. The problem, is that you have to persuade institutions (including Higher Education which has lost its moral compass) to jettison such. They won't. Many prefer Blackboard to Moodle. Many prefer Teams to anything else. They're stuck on Microsoft. They have safety-first IT people.
@lightweight BTW - all the HE idiots still on Twitter and Facebook/Meta. Some even offering Amazon vouchers as student prizes.
@linuxgnome ugh. Yes. We need to work out how to apply pressure to these institutions to fundamentally change, which probably means identifying and jettisoning many of those unfit-for-purpose decision makers.
