The Intercept : Zoom Meetings Aren’t End-to-End Encrypted, Despite Misleading Marketing
Zoom, the video conferencing service whose use has spiked amid the Covid-19 pandemic, claims to implement end-to-end encryption, widely understood as the most private form of internet communication, protecting conversations from all outside parties. In fact, Zoom is using its own definition of the term, one that lets Zoom itself access unencrypted video and audio from meetings. https://theintercept.com/2020/03/31/zoom-meeting-encryption/
It is worth noting that last week the UK Govt. has issued a note to its departments not to use Zoom because of these security issues - as often Government business is confidential. Companies are also advised that confidential business should not take place on Zoom. The problem is of all the remote participation software out there, Zoom's got the best usability/price ratio. Or is there something that's better than Zoom? Kindest regards, Olivier ps. I guess that ICANN work being, for the most, completely open, it doesn't matter if Zoom is not encrypted for our community's use of this resource On 31/03/2020 20:28, Dev Anand Teelucksingh wrote:

Apparently Boris Johnson didn’t get that memo, hosting a “digital cabinet” meeting with zoom id : https://twitter.com/borisjohnson/status/1244985949534199808?s=21 Dev Anand On Tue, 31 Mar 2020 at 6:20 PM, Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond <ocl@gih.com> wrote:

Scalability is a third factor where Zoom excels. As of now, apart from the privacy angle, there is no competition to Zoom. I wonder if ICANN can negotiate with Zoom to see if its meetings can move out of the data sharing arrangements that Zoom is part of.
