Be careful with Zoom guys.

Edit: It seems that they have updated their TOS , however I will never trust a company like this , remember with all of this AI going around right now Data is the new oil.

But if you don’t consent, do they still let you use their services? I’m going to bet that, at best, it’ll be designed to make users think they must consent to use the service.

Who knows, guess we'll find out. The only point I was trying to make is the title of the article being misleading to an assumption rather than fact. It's very possible what you just mentioned is the case, but we won't know until later. My personal concern is the fact Zoom is used for work for many and getting around that for most folks will be the hard part. I hope the terms for free users vs business agreements differ.
