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.

Including enterprise calls? Lots of companies use this for client calls etc....

Ya, I'm gonna have to see if we need to blacklist this for our org now. That's not gonna be popular.

My huge corporation banned us from ever using it ever. They were iffy on it before, so previously we were only allowed to use it if we don't handle any sensitive data, but now we aren't allowed even have it be installed, they don't trust any of it

Thanks. My company had lots of Lenovo devices. I wonder if they're aware of this stuff.
