At what time would it be acceptable to critique Zoom's surveillance practices, in your view? We're not allowed to complain when a useful tool also spies on us?



Not criticizing the timing. Criticizing the tone. My rule in life is politely ask first, if no response then by all means, bring the wrath. Does anyone know if they've ignored the concern?

Everybody assumes every company is a villain these days. Maybe this was an overlooking and they'll happily fix? Anybody ever think of that?


> Does anyone know if they've ignored the concern?

Well yes, an example is their reaction on their Zero Day:

> Ultimately, Zoom failed at quickly confirming that the reported vulnerability actually existed and they failed at having a fix to the issue delivered to customers in a timely manner. An organization of this profile and with such a large user base should have been more proactive in protecting their users from attack.
