This. They really should look into what end-to-end encryption means.

Zoom knows exactly what end-to-end encryption means, and always has. Most likely their marketing group didn't like their engineering group telling them this nice buzzword didn't apply and intentionally chose to misuse it.
You see the exact same thing with HIPAA.

"End-to-end" is often (incorrectly) used to simply describe SSL/TLS protection from web browser to server. Not technically wrong, but also not how most developers understand the term.
