Does Zoom use end-to-end encryption?
Now, I don't think Zoom should have been advertising E2EE when it isn't.But I think some people are still missing the general point that E2EE is fundamentally incompatible with general-purpose business/educational videoconferencing.It works for Facetime which is designed for small groups exclusively using a Facetime app.But the second you allow phone dial-in (virtually always a hard requirement), the second you allow cloud recording (which the article acknowledges), E2EE becomes meaningless, because the server itself necessarily becomes another endpoint.For >99.9% of people this is fine.For the you shouldn't be using Zoom. But if that's a top priority for you, you weren't already using Zoom anyways -- I assume you'd be using auditable open-source encryption. You wouldn't have trusted Zoom marketing terms in the first place.
