(I did not join a previous Zoom meeting my family held in mid-May because it needed a plugin downloaded for #Firefox.) Today, my co-worker S refused to join because of the plugin download for #MSIE 11. -

You can now join #Zoom calls using #Firefox.
Well, apparently, you always could, but now audio will work.
Also, the meeting organizer must click a button to generate a web link or you’ll be taken to a page telling you to install their desktop program or a browser plugin. -

#Uber lays off 3700 employees via #Zoom conferencing.
Is this the equivalent of breaking up via text message? It feels like it, but I do not know how they could have done it better. Did they tell 500-1000 at a time, or sit down and have one-to-one videochats? -

Apparently, it did not go so well this time, so they went on #Zoom (without my mom).
One of my brothers sent me an e-mail where he accused me of brainwashing her against Zoom. I sent a long response. It took me a while to write, so hopefully I got past reacting to his accusation.
I said I don’t know why your camera suddenly didn’t work today. It has worked in all the other videochats. I don’t know why another brother’s microphone didn’t work today. Likewise, it has worked in all the other videochats. -

Told him to suggest that the meeting needs a password. Also sent him a link to #Jitsi_Meet, in case they want to try that instead. -

Someone recommending the closure of #Keybase accounts and rotating keys, passwords, and anything else that KB has touched.
I probably have not been as vocal about it, but ever since I personally discovered (very early on in KB's existence) that following their default instructions uploaded your #privkey to their server, I have recommended avoiding them, cancelling any keys used with them, closing any existing KB accounts. I still feel that way ... and tying up with #Zoom is unlikely to improve my opinion of them. -

Not sure that buying Keybase, a company that originally uploaded people's #GPG #privkey by default, is going to add any understanding of security at all. I've avoided them since I discovered they were uploading private keys by default (though I've heard they later changed that) because that indicated they did not know what they were doing.
I am glad that Zoom seems serious about fixing their issues. I just don't think this is advancing toward that goal. Now, instead of one business with severe security issues, they have two businesses which might have such issues. -

That's a lot. Is it all from his ownership stake in #Zoom? A lot of times, these guys have 2-3 former ventures which they've sold for big bucks before they reach the billionaire level. -

Very glad I'm not the patient ... what do you do when the doctor's office wants to do telemedicine over Zoom, but your friend that works in IT says not to do it? -

My co-worker #S is trying to help someone decide whether to allow the doctor to videochat (via a system called "Zoom") instead of a face to face visit.
It seems odd that they could use #Zoom unless they are HIPPA certified. With all the security flaws they seem to be having, and privacy flaws as well, I cannot imagine that Zoom is #HIPPA certified. -

Had to send him a summary of my objections ... I considered linking sources, but I figured that would make it too long and too ranty. -

Yet another reason to wonder whether #Zoom’s management is just ignorant about #privacy and #security, or actively malicious. “End to end” encryption has a specific meaning, namely that messages sent from your device are encrypted until they arrive at your recipients’ devices, so that no one in between, including any service providers, can read the message payload. If that is not the case, it is not #E2EE. -

*#Zoom Meetings Do Not Support End-to-End Encryption*
https://theintercept.com/2020/03/31/zoom-meeting-encryption/
"… Without end-to-end encryption, Zoom has the technical ability to spy on private video meetings and could be compelled to hand over recordings of meetings to governments or law enforcement in response to legal requests. While other companies like Google, Facebook, and Microsoft publish transparency reports that describe exactly how many government requests for user data they receive from which countries and how many of those they comply with, Zoom does not publish a transparency report. On March 18, human rights group Access Now published an open letter calling on Zoom to release a transparency report to help users understand what the company is doing to protect their data. …"
