AI is ruining the internet - Lemmy.world

More like technology companies ruining internet falling over themselves to be better using AI.

Look at what zoom just did? Something that was perfectly working for me, now I have to look for alternatives.

Only thing I heard about zoom is their back to office?

They changed their TOS to allow themselves to license everyone’s videos for A.I. training (or anything else). One of the execs tried to say they weren’t doing that but unless they change their TOS, they can and no doubt will.

For some people, that’s a personal privacy issue but for people who have Zoom calls about, for instance, health records, it makes Zoom illegal. And even if it’s not illegal, companies use video calls for discussing proprietary information they don’t want licenses to competitors.

Does software exists that encrypts video and audio data on one end, and requires a key to decrypt on the other end? Anyone looking at the feed without keys would be seeing garbage.
If those you wish to have a video call with already have each others phone numbers then Signal is a option. Up to 40 participants. Available on Android, iPhone, Windows, Mac and Linux.
