This has absolutely nothing to do with where Zoom is developed or by whom. It is the stated privacy policy and the software engineering practices to which the company adheres - and the security best practices to which they do not - which are abhorrent to me. This isn't about tech. This isn't about nationality. This is about a social tool being used to exploit people and the network effects that has on others who may have no choice.

That's why Jitsi Meet is important. It is everything Zoom isn't - while still accomplishing nearly everything Zoom attempts to accomplish while exploiting its users. That's why it's important.

Yes, you can trust - so long as you always verify while trusting.
