I hold several different beliefs, and am curious as to what motivates your above statements:
1: Why do you believe that American spy agencies collect Intel or perform Ops using commercial software to a similar level as the CCP? The level of governmental power is extremely different, even if you believe the governmental ‘morals’ are equal.
2: I’ve always heard that using servers always comes with the risk of data being ready by whichever government owns the data center. Do you believe that to not be the case? Or are you simply of the belief that every government has access to the data?
3: I see it as ‘rational’ to switch to Teams for your math sessions only in the same sense that using a VPN for legitimate web browsing is rational. By obfuscating your data, you are making it harder for potentially malicious actors to make and refine algorithms for mass-population manipulation. But that’s a whole massive topic by itself, probably not best to get into it here.
Excellent article, really helped put a lot of the ‘fear-mongering’ news articles in line. I still think organizations should avoid using Zoom if there are other alternatives easily available, but to be fair I havn’t done any feature comparisons.
There was another moderately serious bug discovered late March, patched April 2nd.
